Summary
| Description |
English: River God Fountain, Fitzroy Gardens https://citycollection.melbourne.vic.gov.au/river-god-fountain The sign reads:The Renaissance style figure of a river god was created by Victoria’s most important sculptor of the period. The fountain concept was by Clement Hodgkinson, Assistant Commissioner of Crown Lands and Survey and designer of the Fitzroy Gardens. This was the first fountain in the Fitzroy Gardens, made possible by the supply of water to Melbourne from a dam on the Plenty River at Yan Yean. It was erected in 1862 at a site to the south-east near Clarendon Street and Gipps Street, where it stood for nearly 100 years. In 1995 the original figure was restored and re-erected here in a new rockery and pond similar to its original setting. One of the water mains from Yan Yean crosses the Gardens a few metres to the east of this site. |
