Temperance Fountain

Temperance Fountain

Temperance Fountain was added to the National Register of Historic Places on Oct 12, 2007. It is significant for its art at the national level. Its architecture is described as Victorian. It was listed as part of Memorials in Washington, D.C..

The Temperance Fountain is a fountain and statue located in Washington, D.C., donated to the city in 1882 by Henry D. Cogswell, a dentist from San Francisco, California, who was a crusader in the temperance movement. This fountain was one of a series of temperance fountains he designed and commissioned in a belief that easy access to cool drinking water would keep people from consuming alcoholic beverages.
