Description
The drinking fountain and horse trough, located on the north side of Beckside, was built around 1890 and is now used for municipal flower displays. It is made of polished granite and bronze. The structure features a D-shaped water trough to the south, which has rounded coping and two lower drinking troughs for dogs. Behind the trough stands a square polished marble pier topped with a segmental pediment. The south face of the pier has a round-headed arch with a bronze plaque, while the north face has another round-headed arch that includes a metal tap and a projecting basin below. This water trough was installed to provide fresh, clean drinking water for the people and animals working on the riverfront.
