DC County Courthouse; Darlington Fountain
The Darlington Fountain was installed in 1923 as a tribute to a powerful local lawyer named Joseph Darlington. It sits to the side of the DC County Courthouse (in the background). The sculptor Carl Jennewin took some heat for the nude nymph. He is said to have responded that the nymph's form was the work of God, unsullied by the hands of a dressmaker. |
