How does this letter-form communicate its location?
The Queen Victoria Fountain resides in the grounds of Willistead Manor, an old manor house in the Walkerville district of Windsor that is open to the public as parkland. Originally situated elsewhere in the city, the fountain was transferred to the grounds in 1958. It was built in 1897 to commemorate 60 years of the reign of Queen Victoria. The Romanesque-style lettering at the top of the structure takes on an historical style evident in the 'HE' and 'ND'.
