Description
Photograph of a view of Westlake Park (later Lincoln Park), showing a three-tiered fountain, ca.1905. The fountain is pictured at right, just to the side of a serpentining path that cuts through the park. Water cascades down three concentric tiers of water basins before landing in the much larger pool below, whose perimeter is delineated by stones. A plaque has also been set into a stone obelisk at the fountain's front, but cannot be read. In the background, a residential-style building of some kind is obscured by tree foliage.
