The Fountain Girl, located in Lincoln Park, Chicago, is a historic sculpture created by English artist George Wade in 1893. Originally commissioned by the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, the fountain serves as a tribute to the organization's efforts to promote public drinking water as an alternative to liquor.
After several relocations, including its original display at the World's Columbian Exposition, the fountain was restored and reinstalled in 2012, featuring a bronze figure of a young girl holding a chalice. Today, it stands as a decorative monument, with water trickling from the cup, although it is no longer potable.
