Waite Fountain is an outdoor fountain installed on the Oregon State Capitol grounds, in Salem, Oregon, United States. The original cylindrical fountain was erected in 1912. [1] It was damaged during the Columbus Day Storm of 1962, and has been replaced by a low, modern pool fountain. [1] A plague on the base of the fountain reads, "The E . M Waite Memorial Fountain." [2]
