Located in front of Talent's Town Hall is a memorial fountain with a plaque donated by the Talent Lions Club for John L. Butler, Sr.

The following is taken from the National Register of Historic Places Nomination Form to describe this fountain:

John L. Butler Sr. Memorial Drinking Fountain: This feature, of random laid stone mortared to a concrete base, is located adjacent to the main entry walkway. It was placed by the Talent Lions Club in honor of Mr. Butler, who served as the Talent Watermaster. Believed to have been installed about 1960, this is not the drinking fountain that was approved by City Council in 1935 (Council Minutes, 4-June-1935, Wright, 2011). That feature, of cobblestone, was located within a circular walkway in front of the building and was removed at some undocumented time.
