PARK AND CEMETERY 
TEE LOOMIS FOUNTAIN, WINDSOR, CONN. 
The Loomis Fountain, Windsor, Conn. 
The Loomis memorial fountain, erected in the park 
at Windsor, Conn., was a gift to the town by the 
Loomis estate- The plans were furnished by Herbert 
D. Hale, architect, of Boston, Mass., and executed by 
Frederick Barnicoat, of Quincy, Mass., who had the 
contract for the entire work. The structure rises from 
a base twelve by ten feet, cut in four pieces, to a 
height of about fifteen feet. The columns supporting 
the finely moulded and carved cap are six feet six 
inches in height, and the cap seven feet by three feet 
by three feet six inches, cut in one piece. Westerly 
granite was used throughout in the construction of the 
fountain, and the memorial is much admired. 
Curved seats of granite border the fountain space, 
at the ends of which are the four carved urns, con- 
taining planting. The pillars are of the Doric order, 
fluted and carved at the base, and above them be- 
neath the cap is a bronze inscription plate. The water 
issues from a finely carved head of unique and fan- 
tastic design.
