Description

The Frederick J. Kimball Memorial Fountain, carved out of red granite, was erected in 1907 by Kimball’s friends in a Shenandoah Avenue Park near the N&W passenger station. It provided water for "man and bird and beast". Horses drank from the front basin, people from the rear, and dogs from the sides. The fountain was moved to the corner of Church Avenue and Williamson Road in 1993
