Littlefield Fountain
Look closely at Littlefield Fountain’s bronze figures at the university’s South Mall. The memorial’s layered history makes it more than a convenient foreground for a Tower photograph.
The fountain was dedicated in 1933 as a World War I memorial, but its patron’s earlier Confederate commemorative ambitions complicate that story. Its figures and setting reward a close look alongside an understanding of those origins. Treat the sculpture as its own stop; restoration currently affects the Tower behind it.
