memorial

The Samuel Francis DuPont Memorial Fountain in Dupont Circle, Washington, D.C., is a marble monument by Daniel Chester French honoring Rear Admiral DuPont's naval service during the Civil War. It replaced an earlier statue of DuPont that was moved to Wilmington, Delaware, in 1920. The fountain features allegorical figures symbolizing maritime themes and is located in the Massachusetts Avenue area near the Dupont Circle Metro Station. It stands as both a tribute to DuPont's distinguished career and a significant work of public art.
