Remarks:
Nearby plaque: "The Kilpatrick Memorial Fountain. Given in loving memory of Lonnie B. and Nellie P. Kilpatrick by W. Peyton and Virginia K. Shehee and K. Peters." The original Kilpatrick Fountain sculpture, entitled 'Doves in Flight', was created by Peck and consisted of many doves and curved rods. The sculpture was vandalized and several birds were stolen. Milford redesigned the sculpture using seven doves salvaged from Peck's sculpture.
