This fountain is called the C. Mitchell fountain, and it is located in front of the probate court at the Thomas County Courthouse. There was no history given for the fountain itself, however, in the 1880s such luxury hotels as the Mitchell House and Piney Woods rose on Broad Street, and across the city many smaller hotels and boardinghouses catered to the less affluent. Until about 1910 guests came yearly for a "season" devoted to socializing, hunting, and fishing, and many of their descendants continued to visit Thomasville every year. Perhaps C. Mitchell is a relative of the original Mitchell House family.
