Description
The drinking fountain, built in 1899, was designed by J. Whitehead and Sons for Thomas and Walter Smith. It is made of marble and granite on a stone plinth and is in the Mannerist style. The fountain has a square plan with basins on each side and features piers that support an elaborately decorated pyramidal roof with open circular skylights. The entire structure is adorned with fine and intricate marble carvings. The piers above the basin stage consist of grouped straight and canted pilasters in granite, with arches in between that display open strapwork. J. Whitehead and Sons were prominent commercial masons of the time, and the fountain was dedicated by the Smith brothers in memory of their mother, Martha Smith, who lived from 1826 to 1898.
