Alexandra Parade, Alexandra Park, Cast Iron Fountain
Alexandra Parade, Alexandra Park, Cast Iron Fountain, Cast iron fountain in Alexandra Park, Glasgow, Scotland.
The 40-foot cast iron fountain displays ornate architectural details with columns, obelisk finials, and a solid domed canopy rising from a double plinth base.
Walter MacFarlane's Saracen Foundry constructed the fountain, which was relocated from Kelvingrove Park to Alexandra Park in 1914 after the 1901 International Exhibition.
The fountain features decorative alligator motifs, commemorative panels, and the Glasgow Coat of Arms, representing Victorian public art and civic values.
The structure underwent restoration work in 2000 at a cost of £22,000 to preserve its architectural elements and historical significance.
Four interior column connectors include descending alligator decorations alongside a central putto figure holding an oar while seated on an upturned urn.
