View of the Annie Stewart Memorial Fountain. The base of the circular fountain is decorated with a repeated motif of shells and flowers. A sculpture is at the top, depicting a mermaid pouring water into a conch shell held by the Greek god Triton, with a sea creature underneath them. The fountain is worn and water no longer runs from it. Trees are in the background.
