The impressive Art Deco building was built in 1900 and the fountain complements it nicely.
The fountain has an oval shaped pool with 4 clam shell jets shooting horizontally from the sides into the pool.
Interspaced in between the clam shells are 4 stone spiral shapes with vertical water jets into the pool.
In the centre are two large nicely carved bronze fish, with jets of water coming from their mouths. On the long axis of the oval, there are 4 hidden jets that from time to time rise vertically from the pool.
