Petaluma has saved this concrete drinking fountain on a busy downtown corner. It was erected in 1891 by the Women's Christian Temperance Union – an organization dedicated to banning the sale and drinking of alcohol. The words engraved on this severe, monolithic fountain reflect 19th century morality. I built the image around this severity and its long shadow. The fountain still exists in the 21st century, and so does both the issue of Alcoholism and the WCTU.
