Lotta's Fountain is a beloved historic landmark in San Francisco's Financial District, a cast-iron drinking fountain donated by entertainer Lotta Crabtree in 1875. It gained fame as a designated meeting point for survivors after the 1906 earthquake and fire, a role it still symbolizes today. Visitors can see the ornate fountain at the intersection of Market, Kearny, and Geary streets, often adorned with flowers during commemorations. It's a quiet reminder of the city's resilience amid the bustling financial hub.
