Cast Iron Fountain

Located near the Courthouse in Savanna-la-Mar, Westmoreland, is a Corinthian fluted cast iron fountain. This beautiful and unique fountain was presented to the town of Savanna-la-Mar in 1887 by E. J. Sadler, a planter from Westmoreland.

Rising from the base of the fountain are eight iron columns which give the structure an octagonal appearance. On each of the eight columns is an arch, and over each arch is a plaque with a pelican motif. Inscribed on the pelican motif is the admonition to keep the pavement dry.
The Cast Iron Fountain was declared a national monument by the Jamaica National Heritage Trust on June 19, 2000.
