Description
Dedicated in 1906 to honor the jurist Algernon Sydney Sullivan, this historic drinking fountain reflects a collaboration between architect Frank Wallis and sculptor Jonathan Scott Hartley. Wallis designed the ten-foot-high granite elements, incorporating ornamental pediments and basins, while Hartley crafted the circular relief work.
