Thomas Temple Fountain

It is located at the north end of Queen Street, just west of the Beaverbrook Art Gallery.

The Temple Fountain was added to Fredericton's Local Historic Places Register in June 2011.

[1] Senator Thomas Temple presented the fountain to the city in 1899 to use horses, dogs and humans.

The upper trough, now used as a flower planter during summer, provided water for horses, while dogs used a cast-iron bowl at the fountain's base.

[2] Senator Temple bought the fountain's cast-iron elements in Ottawa, and the granite was quarried and carved in New Brunswick.
