Fountain Returned to Marshall Square Park

After missing for more than a half-century, a piece of history returns.

Led by borough council president Holly Brown, the Friends of Marshall Square Park returned a fountain to its original home after its recovery from a farm in East Bradford.

The fountain, which is believed to predate 1900, had been missing from the park since at least 1950. 

The friends of Marshall Square Park plan on restoring the fountain to its original condition in its original home.
