Description
The drinking fountain in Shroggs Park is a mid to late 19th century square stone structure designed in an elaborate Gothic style. It features a stepped base that supports four basins, which are fed by dolphins beneath a vaulted canopy. The canopy is topped by a central finial, and there are small pinnacles that are likely missing from each corner.
