Statler Fountain

2011-10-12T21:03:00.004-04:00

This statue is located at Statler Park, Stuart Street at Park Square and was designed by Ulysses Anthony Ricci (1888-1960). The sculpture was a gift of the Hotel Statler Company, Inc. and was presented to the city in 1930 as part of a beautification project for the Park. ~~Originally, water flowed from the cup the figure holds, into the raised bowl, and then into the basin. The fountain is no longer operable. A bronze dedication plaque originally on base is now missing.~~ The preceding statement is no longer true and refers to the state of the fountain when I last posted it in 2008, which you can see here. The fountain has been recently refurbished (2011) by the same company that restored and refurbished the Brewer Fountain.

The sculpture is a bronze, art deco fountain in the shape of a Roman tripod brazier. A woman in classical robes stands in the middle of the upper bowl holding a cup from which water originally flowed. The large bowl is decorated with signs of the zodiac in relief; the lip edge is decorated with egg and dart molding. The legs are decorated with semi-draped male figures above grotesque decorations and terminate in lions' paws. The basin at foot of the fountain is now a planter.

Allen showed us his daily walk to school in Prague, so taking inspiration from his post, I thought I would show my commute this morning into Boston on the T{errible} Red Line.

A light snow is falling in Wollaston.

The Red Line Train breaks down and everyone is ejected at JFK/UMASS (formerly Columbia Station).
