Abstract
The purpose of this project is to locate and assess the more than thirty extant historic masonry drinking fountains located along Oregon's highways. Many of the drinking fountains, some of which are a century old, show marked structural deteriorated. The reconnaissance-level survey and treatment plan will create a complete snapshot of this important part of Oregon's early travel infrastructure and offer maintenance guidelines to help preserve these fountains for future generations. Meanwhile, these resources are becoming scarce due to deferred maintenance and loss of potable water. This makes them redundant and owners often label them as attractive nuisances for vandalism and remove them.
