Exterior
A shallow segmental arch with rusticated voussoirs and keystone contains a scalloped basin, and a spout set into a beaten metal, diagonally set plate which depicts frogs in a lily pond in low relief.  

Interior
 

Reason for designation
An attractive example of street furniture, of special interest for the quality of the sculptured panel.
