Not long ago, this was a silver hydrant with an orange cap, and it had probably been this way since the 1990s. In 2019,
Create Ardmore and the Ardmore Fire Department worked together on a beautification effort in which fire hydrants in the downtown Cultural Arts District -- a comparatively small number compared to the over 1600 hydrants that the Ardmore FD has to maintain throughout the area! -- would be given the glamour treatment. As the Ardmore FD requires that the hydrants have a specific color cap -- red, orange, green or blue -- to indicate how much water pressure each tank has behind it, they did the priming work, leaving local volunteers to use their imaginations and minimal guidelines in the effort.
The orange cap is retained, with some bits of blue, and the lower standpipe is green. In between, the background is blue, with some of the orange from the cap coming down. This is probably The Child, given a youthful look and the collar around his tan robe. Note how his ears, green outside, pink inside, extend across the two side outlet caps. The creator is identified only by their initials in black on the back on the breaker ring: L.F. Ltd '20.
