Evaluation and Identification
Our
work often begins with an evaluation of the remains in the field, identification
of foundry, and determination of original construction and use. The fountain
below is typical of the type we preserve. They were often items of utility
and necessity, providing either drinking water for the public or for horses
and dogs. The fountain pictured below has large basins for horses and
small basins for dogs. Some were erected in the middle of town and city
street intersections, as "filling stations" for equestrian traffic.
