Fountain in Centre of Public Green

The Chester Park fountain, as viewed looking west and slightly north. Made of cast iron, the three tiers plus the pipe filial reached a height of approximately 10˝ feet. The bottom tier is decorated with three herons, probably great blues. (This section of the fountain now resides at 446 Third Avenue, next to Julianne’s Playground.) The fountain pool has a concrete edge embedded with river stones. The two columns on the right mark the corner of Chestnut and Walnut Avenues. The split-rail fence in the distance shows the back property line of lots on Chestnut Avenue. The woods beyond slope down to the Hutchinson River.
