YEAR DED.:    1878 in Philadelphia- moved to DC in 1926

TREATMENT:  The fountain was cleaned, using non-ionic cleanser and coated with several application of specialized paint that was specified by The Architect of the Capitol 

NOTES:

Fredic August Bartholdi sold this fountain to the United States - shortly after his famous Statue of Liberty was commissioned by France and installed at Ellis Island. I was told by The Architect of the Capitols' Chief Conservator - Dr Barbra Wolanin- that Bartholdi claimed the statue was made of bronze - when it was actually made of iron.  This statue resided in Philadelphia while that city was the Capital of the United States.  It was moved to its current  location - in front of the House of Representatives The "Fountain of Light and Water,"[2] commonly called the Bartholdi fountain, was created for the 1876 Philadelphia Exposition which celebrated the 100th birthday of the United States. It was designed by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, and it was cast by the Durenne foundry in France, which had won awards for its cast-iron fountains at earlier international expositions in 1862, 1867 and 1873.[3] Bartholdi offered the fountain to the Exposition for free; he intended to sell it afterwards, and to sell others of the same design to other cities. The fountains stood at the center of the esplanade, near the main entrance to the exposition.

When the exposition ended in 1877, Bartholdi did not find any buyers for his fountain. One year later it was purchased by the United States Congress, which offered him only six thousand dollars, half the sum he had originally asked. In 1878, it was placed at the base of Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. In 1926 it was removed and stored to facilitate completion of the George Gordon Meade Memorial, and for landscaping improvements around the Grant Memorial.[1] In 1932, the sculpture was placed at its current location in the United States Botanic Garden, on the grounds of the United States Capitol, [2] wikipedia
