Taken from Wikipedia, "The Temperance Fountain is a fountain and statue located in Washington, D.C., donated to the city in 1882 by Henry D.

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."
