“Fairmount Waterworks. From the forebay.” (From nature & on stone G. Lehman; Published by C.G. Childs & G. Lehman, 1833. Free Library of Philadelphia, Print & Picture Collection)Visitors to the Fairmount Water Works were invited to stroll on the roof of the 1822 (Old) Mill House and, as one figure was captured in this print, to enter it through the South Entrance Portal, topped by William Rush’s sculpture, “Allegory of the Water Works.” Climbing the wooden staircases to the gazebo on the cliff face and to the top of the reservoir embankment was part of the excursion. The gentle jet of water rising from William Rush’s “Allegory of the Schuylkill River (Nymph and Bittern)” was depicted just to the left of, and above, the swans. The wooden sculpture was later cast in bronze and moved to the fountain in the South Garden.
