Many homes of Charleston’s historic district remain private residences not open to the public. When limited to sidewalks and alleys, one has to meander from side to side looking for photographic opportunities. This ‘Pretentious Fountain’ was imaged through a garden gate at 31 Meeting Street. As part of the James Ladson House garden, the fountain is a copy of an original from Bad Hauheim, Germany‘s Kaiserhoff Gardens.
