As indicated by the caption, this image shows part of the Triton fountain after John L. Severance's Cleveland Heights' estate, "Longwood," was replaced by a parking lot and the Severance Center mall.

The caption accompanying this photograph reads as follows:

The end, when it came to Longwood, was not especially different from the end, at Habor [sic] Hill. A 'mall', Severance Center, along with houses, obliterated all the care and cultivation of half a century, almost overnight. Considered, but declined, by the Cleveland Museum of Art, forlorn and overlooked, White's fountain spent as much time at the edge of the now defunct emporium's parking lot, as it had beautifying millionair's [sic] gardens.

Obviously, the words "Habor" and "millionair's" are typographical errors that should have been "harbor" and "millionaire's" instead.
