Fountain for Company H

Fountain for Company H, Memorial fountain in Downtown Portland, United States

The Fountain for Company H is a 1914 memorial of limestone and bronze on the west side of Lownsdale Square in downtown Portland, facing the Multnomah County Courthouse. It has a drinking fountain under a clamshell-shaped canopy and measures about 89 by 63 by 31 inches. It honors the men of Company H, 2nd Oregon Volunteer Infantry Regiment, killed in the Philippines during the Spanish–American War.

The memorial was funded by an auxiliary of women relatives, mostly mothers, of Company H men. A city design competition in January 1914, with $450 appropriated, chose John H. Beaver's design on February 17; the fountain was unveiled on September 2, 1914, when Henrietta White removed a flag. It honors Company H of the 2nd Oregon Volunteer Infantry Regiment, killed in the Philippines during the Spanish–American War.

The memorial was paid for by an auxiliary of women, mostly mothers of Company H men, who met to raise funds; a city competition in January 1914 chose John H. Beaver's design for a $50 prize. At the September 2, 1914 unveiling, Henrietta White, great-granddaughter of the auxiliary's first president Diana McDonell, removed a flag given to the company by Portland High School girls.

The fountain stands on the west side of Lownsdale Square, facing the Multnomah County Courthouse along Southwest 4th Avenue between Main and Salmon Streets. It is a drinking fountain set within a clamshell-shaped canopy, about 89 by 63 by 31 inches, so look for the shell form rather than a pool. The memorial is included in published walking tours of downtown Portland.

The memorial was paid for by an auxiliary of women, mostly mothers of Company H men, who raised the funds themselves. A city competition in January 1914 drew designs for a fountain "in bronze and stone"; John H. Beaver won the $50 prize. During Occupy Portland in 2011 the fountain was screened off with a sign asking protesters to respect the monument.
