Sarling Fountain (Buena Vista Road and Wynnton Road) The fountain and park were given to the
City of Columbus in 1929 as a...memorial to Lenora Sarling, a leading woman in Columbus’civic,social, and religious circles, by her sister Mrs. Desire Franklin. The Carrara marble fountain has a center sculpture of a woman called “Mrs. Columbus.” It has often been said to depict
a Columbus girl looking toward Fort Benning for a husband, but when the fountain was last cleaned, it was returned facing the wrong direction.
