| Description: Two concrete drinking fountains flank a limestone pedestal which supports the bust of what appears to be a young girl. The fountain is in simple art deco style. Each fountain has a laurel wreath carved into its front side and identical bronze plaques are at each end. On the back side are steps to the drinking fountain. This sculpture was conserved in 2004 and moved to a visible location near the train tracks on the south side of the ZOO. This fountain was originally located near the sea lion pool and was designed to be a utilitarian as well as an artistic addition. |
| Inscription: Bronse plaques at each end of the fountain read: A gift of Edith A. Norton in memory of her mother Mary A. Fraser 1951. |
