General A. E. Booth Fountain

without comments

This fountain is located at Port Discovery (Map) in downtown Charm City.  The fountain was donated by General Alfred E. Booth, one of Baltimore’s prominent businessmen during the 19th century.  It resembles this drinking fountain that once stood in next to the Battle Monument.

There are two markers placed nearby that are identical in style but commemorate different events.  One  memorializes the commission of Center Market and the other summarizes the Great Fire of 1904.
