Waite Fountain was 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 was replaced by a low, modern pool fountain.[1] A plague on the base of the fountain read, "The E . M Waite Memorial Fountain."[2] The fountain was demolished in 2026 as the surrounding Willson Park undergoes substantial improvements.
The original fountain was created by June D. Drake.[2]
