At the CRI@P Depot at the east end of Chickasha Avenue is a stone fountain which is no longer operational. The plaque reads: "1911 Presented by the National Humane Alliance Hermon Lee Ensign Founder." The National Humane Alliance is now known as the Humane Society.
Each of the three sides of the center pedestal has a bronze lion's head out of which the water once flowed.
This is a very interesting place to visit as the railroad depot on these grounds is an antique automobile museum. The depot is on the National Register of Historic Places
Setting: Outside
Place: Railroad depot
