Al Hayne Memorial Monument In Downtown Fort Worth, Texas. Editorial Image

Pictured is the Al Hayne Memorial Monument in downtown Fort Worth, Texas. The memorial commemorates the British civil engineer credited with saving over a dozen lives from the tragic 1890 fire that consumed the Texas Spring Palace. Hayne, the sole fatality, died from injuries sustained in the fire. In 1893, the Women`s Humane Association commissioned Lloyd Bowman to create a memorial monument including a marble portrait bust and working fountain. Evaline Sellors` bronze bust replaced the original when the monument was relocated and restored in 1934. It is part of the public art collection of Fort Worth, Texas.
