A Backyard Fountain Like None Before

RICHMOND HILL, Ontario - The Euser family has something in their backyard, sitting on the patio out by the tarp-covered swimming pool, that a wounded city 350 miles away has been waiting a long time to see.

The temporary structure, made of 300 plywood sheets, timber framing, steel-plate bracing and three 10-horsepower pumps, simulates a 40-foot corner section of one of the memorial voids.

It is the first full-scale, three-dimensional intimation of what the World Trade Center memorial will look like and sound like and feel like; a 27-foot-high mock-up of the water walls that will ring the enormous voids marking the twin towers' absence.
