EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the timeless beauty of The Bagley Memorial Drinking Fountain, located at the historic corner of Woodward Avenue and Fort Street in Detroit, Michigan. Erected in memory of John J. Bagley (1832-1881), who served as the 16th Governor of Michigan from 1873 to 1877, the fountain stands as a testament to the city's rich history and cultural heritage. Originally installed in the late 1880s, the Bagley Memorial Drinking Fountain was a beloved landmark for generations of Detroiters. The intricately designed fountain, featuring ornate sculptures and a central basin, was a popular gathering place and a source of refreshment for weary travelers and local residents alike. Since this photograph was taken in the 1910s, the Bagley Memorial Drinking Fountain has been moved twice. It was first relocated to Campus Martius Park in the 1960s, and later to its current home in Cadillac Square Park in 2003. Despite these moves, the fountain remains an important symbol of Detroit's past and a cherished part of the city's urban landscape. The Bagley Memorial Drinking Fountain is a reminder of the people and events that have shaped Detroit's history, and a testament to the enduring power of public art to bring communities together. This photograph offers a glimpse into Detroit's past, and invites us to reflect on the city's rich cultural heritage and the enduring legacy of its leaders like John J. Bagley.
