Description
The lion is part of the Scott Fountain on Belle Isle in Detroit, a fountain that almost was never built. James Scott left the money to build the fountain but in his will he said the city can only have the money if they built a life size statue of Mr. Scott. He was however so despised by the people of Detroit it took about 15 years before the statue was built, it was completed in 1925.
