Our Field Work

We then disassemble in the field as far as necessary for handling and transport. Complete disassembly comes later in the shop. Since many fountains have been reused as planters, this sometimes means a lot of soil removal.

 
The large octagonal iron pool of this fountain cast by J.L. Mott and located in Muskegon, Michigan had been filled with soil and also reinforced with concrete. This fountain is currently under conservation in our shop and due for completion in June 2002.   The upper bowl of the above fountain contains particularly beautiful iron castings. The corner goat head spouts are made of solder-joined cast zinc.
