[MassHistPres] Historic fountains

[Rowcroft, Jessica (DCR)]

The Historic Landscape Preservation Grant Program of the former DEM
funded work that did include restoration of a few fountains.  In my
quick scan of a list of project summaries, it looks like we funded work
at the Winfield Robbins Memorial Garden in Arlington (in the Civic Block
complex) that involved repair work to a historic fountain, and in Lee,
funds were used to repair the Daniel Chester French Temperance fountain
located on the Lee Common.  There may have been more projects that
encompassed some fountain work that did not jump put at me.

To all, a few introductions are in order as I have never posted on this
list. 
My name is Jeff Furber and I am a member of Hopkinton Community
Preservation 
Comm, we are in the process of restoring and reparing our historic,
circa 
1907, cast iron water fountain.. 
Our project is to have a casting made of one of the missing tiers, have
the 
fountain re-welded, sandblasted and painted and hopefully find funds to
put in 
water and a recirculating pump. 

I have been trying to locate different towns that have undertaken
similar 
projects and speak to the committees for ideas and guidance.

So my question is , is there a list of town's in MA. that have historic 
fountains.  Thanks Jeff Furber
