Focus on Murphy Memorial Drinking Fountain and analyze the Description.
The Murphy Memorial Drinking Fountain is a structure made of Barre Granite, the same stone utilized in the Sailors and Soldiers Monument, which was created in 1888 and stands on the southeast corner of the courthouse square in Delphi, Indiana. The precise date that the fountain was finished is not known, but it appears installed and operational in a photo taken by Andrew W. Wolever on Labor Day in 1919.The sculpture by Reynolds depicts a young girl wearing a short one piece dress. She holds her left hand out before her with a chalice, which currently contains a drinking fountain. Her right hand is stretched behind her.
A bronze tablet is mounted above the sculpture that reads "The Mr. and Mrs. M. M. Murphy Drinking Fountain".  The sculpture was donated by Clara G. Murphy, on behalf of her deceased husband, and herself.  The couple owned Murphy's Drugstore from 1875 to 1910, which was located across the street from the fountain at 112 West Main Street.
