St Louis - Aloe Plaza

Aloe Plaza was named in honor of Louis P. Aloe, President of the Board of Alderman from 1916 to 1923. He died in 1929. The fountain, commissioned in 1936, is named "The Meeting of the Waters". It depicts the union of the Missouri and the Mississippi Rivers, with two central figures accompanied by 17 water spirits forming a wedding procession, symbolic of the smaller streams that empty into the two major rivers.
