An inviting block full of terraces and platforms, Forecourt Fountain proudly nods to the region’s abundant waterfalls. Designed by Angela Danadijeva for Lawrence Halprin and Associates, the water fountain has been a popular downtown meeting destination for generations of Portlanders and visitors since its completion in 1971.<br />

In 1978, the fountain was renamed after Ira C. Keller, noted civic leader and first chairman of the Portland Development Commission.
