Drinking Fountain, Carlton North

Drinking Fountain, Carlton North

Unlike yesterday's sad example, this drinking fountain is in much better condition. Perhaps because it is in Curtain Square, a park just off busy Rathdowne St in Carlton North, it has avoided the worst of any vandalous attacks.

The inscription on this fountain reads

PRESENTED TO THE
CITIZENS OF MELBOURNE
BY
ALDERMAN
SIR WM. BRUNTON KB
(LORD MAYOR OF MELBOURNE 1923-26)
1930
