Description

The iron fountain located on High Street in Dumfries was cast by Smith's Foundry in Glasgow and was erected in 1882 under the supervision of Crombie. It features a circular red ashlar basin and consists of three tiered circular basins with conch edges that decrease in size. The underside of each basin is decorated with flowers and leaves. At the base of the lowest basin, there are four cherubs holding fishes. The second basin is supported by dolphin figures and has a Corinthianesque capital above it, while the small bowl under the jet is supported by stork figures.
