On the north side of Guthrie stands this beautiful two-story building, with full attic and basement. Constructed in 1923, it operated as a Masonic home for orphans until 1978. The building remained vacant until 2000 when it was sold to a private individual. It has been beautifully renovated, inside and out, and today operates as The Dominion House, an event center offering luxurious wedding accommodations, including a ballroom, wedding chapel and full catering services.
This fountain stands in a pool on the front walk of the building. The pool is approximately ten feet in diameter with a thirty inch high brick wall with stone coping. The pool is lined with ceramic tile. The fountain is stone and has three increasingly smaller tiers. Each tier has a flower petal bowl, supported by curved leaf and frond supports. Water spills from the top and each bowl spills into the one below. The fountain was operational at the time of our visit in the fall.
