Streetview. The fountain is indeed gone. It was one of 5 that Sir Richard Wallace gave to Lisburn in 1876. This one was apparently a casualty of war: "During the war years three of the fountains were dismantled to accommodate the demand for metal to make armaments." But there are 2 of its siblings still in Lisburn - pictures at the above link.

Wallace fountains are also found all over Paris: "In the 19th century Sir Richard Wallace was a wealthy English art collector and philanthropist who lived in France. When the Franco Prussian war damaged many of the aqueducts in Paris there remained little access to clean water for many of the most needy Parisians. His solution to this problem was the erection of public drinking fountains. " This particular model was " work of art by the French sculptor, Charles-Auguste Lebourg" and made by Val D’Osne.

Aha "The manse was built about 1880 and the Seymour Street National School in 1886. ... " from lisburn.com/churches/Lisburn-churches/lisburn-methodist.html . So before 1880 at latest.

This seems quite likely to be the former Alice Cornelia Thaw. From profilesintime.blogspot.com/2007/02/benjamin-thaw.html "Alice Thaw (January 2, 1880 - ? March 1969) - Baptized 11 DEC 1881 at 3rd Presbyterian Church, Pittsburgh, Allegheny, Pennsylvania Alice Cornelia (Thaw) Seymour Whitney; in a much talked of international match, she became the Countess of Yarmouth. She married George Francis Alexander Seymour (20 October 1871, d. 16 February 1940), the son of Hugh de Grey Seymour, 6th Marquess of Hertford and Hon. Mary Hood, on 27 April 1903 in Pittsburgh. It is said that the earl extorted money from her at her wedding and promptly deserted her. Her marriage to George Francis Alexander Seymour was annulled in 1908. He was styled Lord Hertford; he died in 1940, aged 68 and childless, and his titles passed to his nephew. Later (before 1914), Alice Thaw became Mrs. Geoffrey G. Whitney (Geoffrey Gordon Whitney was born July 21, 1882 in Boston). Their estate was at Woods Hole. " The engagement announcement on December 19, 1912 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9D03E4DA1E3AE633A... has a different middle initial for her future husband, but her May 1955 obituary at select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=FA0A14F8345B167B... (subscripton required), gives his name as Geoffrey G. Whitney. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9A07E5DA173FE633A... dates the wedding as April 22, 1913. So the photo may be from around the time of the wedding. She was the sister of Harry K. Thaw, husband of Evelyn Nesbit. See www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2929579164/
