From the Detroit Publishing Co. archives at the Library of Congress Website, comes this shot of the Victoria Fountain, now in Willistead park, in its original location on Devonshire Road, just south of the Train Station.
A neat detail shot of the original top of the fountain.
A look inside, shows the fountain in operation, along with the sharp new inscription on the bottom.
The fountain today, shows the original top long gone.
The inscription is still there today. However a little less crisp than it was in the old photo.
Have a good weekend, I’ll see you back here Monday.

thankyou Shane for the info on lacation of the fountian.
i'm curious if the city is gonna put the fountain udine they used to have at Ouellette and the drive back in it's original spot anyone know it's too bad we didn't have a central square somewhere in the city Toronto has Dundas Square with at least 3 fountains a good spot would be the vacant lot at church and pit street next to the Hilton
Dave, I agree. Fountains are nice,a nd it's sad to see them not functioning. And it's bad Feng Shui. Working fountains help with money coming in and stuff.
