Also known as the Vendome Fountain, this Miami Beach landmark is built from cast stone and local limestone with Mediterranean Revival details, including colorful ceramic tile work and lion-head water spouts.
Restoration work removed old over-paint and grouted concrete cracks, treated exposed rebar with phosphoric acid and a zinc-rich primer, and rebuilt damaged decorative elements using conservation mortars and conservation-grade paints. Crews sourced and refabricated replacement tiles for missing or damaged sections.
The project also overhauled the fountain's interior plumbing and electrical systems, restoring water flow through the lion-head spouts for the first time in decades, and added modern lighting to the fountain and surrounding walkways.
