SYRACUSE, N.Y. — The Franklin Square fountain, located at the corner of Plum and Solar Streets in Syracuse, has been reinstalled following a 12-month absence for a more than $77,000 restoration project.
The fountain was originally installed in the early 1990s. Since that time, it faced wear and tear, “prompting a thorough restoration effort to preserve its charm and functionality,” the City of Syracuse Department of Parks & Recreation, said in its Thursday announcement.
Last October, specialists from Robinson Iron dismantled and transported the fountain to Alexander City, Alabama to complete the restorative work. While in Alabama, the fountain was stripped down to bare metal, repaired, painted, and coated with protective finishings to prevent corrosion. The effort also included installation of a new granite base to prevent leaks.
