The Dupont Circle fountain, located at the center of Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C. Designed by Henry Bacon and sculpted by Daniel Chester French, the marble fountain is in honor of Rear Admiral Samuel Francis Du Pont. The fountain's shaft features carvings of three classical nudes symbolizing the sea, the stars, and the wind. Sculpted in 1921, the fountain is designated a contributing property to the Dupont Circle Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
