Commissioned by the Church Street Marketplace Business Association, this whimsical piece exemplifies the subjective nature of public art – some love it, some don’t. In June of 2002, vandals stole most of the statue, leaving behind only two feet. The Marketplace and concerned residents raised money over the course of the summer, rescued the missing figures and restored the Leap Froggers to their original stature.

A 128-year-old fountain nicknamed "The Ladies" returned to its former glory after a major restoration project.  The fountain was erected in 1887 and cost $4,000. It was a gift to St. Albans from John Gregory Smith.  The fountain was cast and built by the J.W. Fisk company in New York City. The original molds were bought by Robinson Iron Alabama.
