| Description |
Taken at Portland, Maine's Old Port Festival a couple of weeks ago. It was, I think, the hottest day of the year so far; 90 F or 32 C. This dog was getting some respite in this fountain that is intended for animals to use. The Stanley Pullen Fountain was installed in 1910 as a horse trough and fountain on what was then the busy thoroughfare of Federal Street. The granite fountain was named in honor of local lawyer, politician, and onetime editor of the Portland Daily Press, Stanley Thomas Pullen. The fountain has served as a horse-watering trough for more than a century and remains in use today in the warmer months, when horse drawn tour carriages stop at the fountain to water their horses. The classically designed granite fountain is ornamented with six dolphins, and during its heyday local children referred it to as “the bubble.” The Jay, Maine granite used was also used in City Hall, Evergreen Chapel, and the Deering Oaks columns. Stanley Pullen was one of the founders of The Portland Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in 1872, and was instrumental in the formation of the Maine Society for the Protection of Animals. He is widely considered one of the State’s first animal rights pioneers.[Website Public Art Portland] |
