Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Austad, Arnold David Title A name given to the resource Fountain in front of the library. Description An account of the resource Four-ton all-metal sculpture, salvaged from the remains of the old Kimbell Flour Mill, Trinity Industries, and Harpool's Seed Cleaning Plant, all businesses from Denton, Texas. The metal had sat in a "junk" pile behind Harpool Seed's grain elevator and was donated by Tom Harpool. Completed in 1980, the work was commissioned by Arnold Austad for the library at a cost of $5,000; it took him two months to complete. The two large metal basins were used to circulate water for the fountain. Some controversy took place after the Austad painted the fountain with red oxide to prevent rust first. The public had expected it to be forest green and some were disappointed by the color. Later it would be painted black. The fountain was disconnected around 2008 due to vandalism and turned into a planter. Plans to preserve and reconnect it began in 2022.
