Abbeville Fountain – Abbeville, South Carolina

South Carolina | SC Picture Project | Abbeville County Photos | Abbeville Fountain

The Abbeville Humane Society Alliance Fountain is one of 125 fountains given to communities in our country during the early 1900s by the National Humane Alliance. This five-ton granite and bronze fountain was installed in 1912, and its beautiful design of water flowing from the mouths of lions makes it a popular Abbeville attraction. Its upper basin is meant to be a water bowl for horses, and the small cups at the bottom are for cats and dogs.

Many thanks to Mark Clark, an Abbeville native who currently resides in Winnsboro, for submitting this picture he took in April 2010.
