Howdy!

While Parc Lafontaine has been around since 1874 or so, the town ponds connected by a waterfall were not introduced until 1900, and the fountain was built in 1929 because Léon Trépanier wanted one there, and was paid for by Westinghouse. I’m going to have to return next spring as at nighttime, it is illuminated.

+This is the 26th in an occasional series of videos on the fountains of Montreal+
