The Scott Fountain is an expanse of marble, pottery, and bronzework on the western end of Belle Isle in Detroit. It honors James Scott, "a loafer and a gambler," who left his $500,000 estate to the city under the condition that this fountain be built -- with a life size statue of himself overlooking it.
Controversially, the city went ahead with it. The design included some Pewabic pottery work.
