1. Title: "Franklin H. Walker Fountain, Detroit, Mich., Unknown Photographer, 1905-1915" This photograph captures the timeless beauty of the Franklin H. Walker Fountain located in Detroit, Michigan, between 1905 and 1915. The exact date of the image remains unknown, but it offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the intricate design and elegance of this historic landmark. The fountain, named after Franklin Hiram Walker, a prominent Detroit businessman and philanthropist, was a popular attraction in the city during the early 20th century. The image reveals a serene scene of the fountain, surrounded by lush greenery and a well-manicured lawn. The water cascades gracefully from the top tier, creating a refreshing contrast against the dry plate negative glass. Mrs. Mary May Holbrook Walker, wife of Franklin Walker, is believed to have played a significant role in the design and construction of the fountain. The garden setting, with its meticulously arranged flowers and shrubs, reflects the horticultural trends of the time. The Franklin H. Walker Fountain was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975 but was unfortunately demolished in the late 20th century. Today, this photograph serves as an important reminder of Detroit's rich history and the legacy of its visionary residents. This image is a testament to the enduring allure of historic sites and the power of photography to preserve the past for future generations. It is a valuable addition to any collection focused on American history, garden design, or the evolution of public art in the United States.
