Fountain returned to Irvine Park after renovation
After a restoration over the winter, the cast iron fountain at Irvine Park in St. Paul was returned to its base on Thursday with the help of Cora Metal Works and Rocket Crane.
The restoration project included repairs and a fresh coat of paint by KCI Conservation.
The fountain reinstallation should wrap up by Friday afternoon.
The Historic Irvine Park Association helped commission the current fountain from the Robinson Iron Company of Alexandria, Alabama in 1978-79. The original ornate cast iron fountain that was installed in the park in 1881 had been removed by 1927.
