From Mike Miller, Treasurer...

I'm probably among the relative few who can get excited about a 77 year old drinking fountain, but if you're like me and have an interest in these types of things, then please read on.....

This shiny porcelain drinking fountain once graced an office corridor in the Central Terminal. It's unusual in design, as it has two spigots: one at the base, and another at the top. I'm not sure what the top one would be used for other than probably as a cup refiller.

This artifact was salvaged from the building in the early '90's, when the entire complex was under siege from vandals and thieves. As you can see, it is in remarkable condition. It will be on display in the concourse this season, if you would like to see it in person.

The Central Terminal Restoration Corporation would like to sincerely thank Jim Pelczynski, co-owner of QTA Machining at 401 William Gaiter Pkwy. for years of safekeeping and eventual return of this item. We would also like to encourage others out there who may have items of interest from the building to do the same.
