Comments | The original location described as Westbourne Grove/Archer Street. The fountain is described as design-138, red granite which doesn’t quite match the current structure. Also, according to the MDFCTA records this fountain was donated by C.F.Kirby so why are the initials in the inscription "S.F.K"? The fountain is close to this faux cattle trough. This is one of several Design-138 drinking fountains. |
