The
Centennial Plaza, with its backdrop of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture,
was started as a project for the Centennial year of the 1893 run. It contains
bricks engraved with the names of pioneers, descendants, organizations,
supporters and others who helped make the project a success.
The brick plaza
with over 7,000 named bricks surrounds the DAR Memorial fountain and War Memorial
tablet erected in 1925 by the Daughters of the American Revolution and the
Centennial Statue sculpted by Jo Saylors.
Jo Davidson's statue
of E.W. Marland, completed in the late 20s was donated to the City after
Marland's death by Mrs. Marland, and erected on its present site in 1950.
