This is one of two drinking fountains gifted in the 1880s to the people of Sydney by John Frazer. It was a time when many houses lacked water connections. Carved in Pyrmont sandstone by Lawrence Beveridge.
Check here for holiday photos, and click here to see the complete sandstone collection.
John Frazer certainly had a sense of drama. Nice of him to provide the water source how every he wanted to do it.
ReplyDeleteWow. That is one elaborate drinking fountain!
