When Oak Hill Cottage got indoor plumbing in 1877, the contract called for 5 yard hydrants. The one showing up most often in old photos was alongside the front walk, but none of the originals survive. Kupferle Foundry in St. Louis has been making the Total Eclipse brand of yard hydrants since 1857, and we have purchased and installed this nice piece of Victorian cast iron in its original location.

Thank you for posting a picture of the Total Eclipse Hydrant. Similar hydrants are installed throughout the downtown Massachusetts Street area of Lawrence, Kansas.
