Troup Square

-A A +A
1851; 1967–1969 relandscaped, Clermont Lee

From 1877 until 1946 streetcar tracks crossed this square in line with Habersham Street, and it is ornamented today by a bronze armillary sphere manufactured by Kenneth Lynch and Sons of Oxford, Connecticut, donated along with the surrounding landscaping by Mills B. Lane Jr. and his wife, Anne (Waring), as part of the Troup Square Conservation Project in 1968. The small cast-iron water fountain for use by pets was cast from parts of a larger bronze fountain originally placed in Forsyth Park in 1897.
