Title

Kent Creek Fountain at the Illinois Central Station

Description

Kent Creek is visible in this wintry view at the Illinois Central Railroad station on South Main Street. The creek supplies water for the "fountain" at the top center that is spraying a light mist that is freezing. It is unclear what the fountain is being used for. This photograph appears to be part of a series that shows the fountain in different seasons and from different angles: 88.122.648, 88.122.650, 88.122.652, and 88.122.653.
