The Fountain At Danville State Hospital
Palm trees were grown in the greenhouse at the hospital. Here you can see they appear to be in planters on the front lawn, surrounding the fountain.
Note the similarities to the David Stroud Fountain, in Bloomsburg Pa.

The Stroud fountain, and other fountains in Bloomsburg, were ordered from the JL Mott Iron Works catalog. It's possible this fountain was from the same catalog.
