Agnes is the name of the bronze statue of a young female figure which was placed within a fountain on the front lawn of the Old Deaf School. Agnes was rescued by the Ohio School for the Deaf Alumni Association and restored to her original beauty when the Old Deaf School was demolished. The fountain had been 40 feet in diameter and was built in honor of America’s centennial celebration in 1876. Powered by a new engine house at the time, the fountain’s stream was fifty feet in length. Agnes presently looks over the Alumni Park on the grounds of the present school.
