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 This odd piece of statuary near the Archives is the Temperance Fountain. It was designed by Henry D. Cogswell, who donated it to the city in 1882. Cogswell was a vocal proponent of abstinence from alcohol and he donated similar fountains to cities across the country. The thinking behind the fountain was logical: people would consume less alcohol if they had access to clean and cool drinking water.
