Description

Located on the south side of Walnut Street at Radcliffe Street is a fountain dedicated to the memory of Martha P. Swain, a charter member of the Bristol Chapter for the Women’s Christian Temperance Union (W.C.T.U). Dedicated in 1914, it provided water for humans as well as horses. In the 20th century, the horse trough was removed because it protruded into the street.
