- Q5481166 abstract "Francis Griffith Newlands Memorial Fountain is a historic fountain, located at Chevy Chase Circle, Northwest, Washington, D.C., in the Chevy Chase neighborhood. The fountain was designed by Edward Wilton Donn in 1933 and erected in 1938. The project was funded by Newlands' widow.The fountain honors Francis G. Newlands, a U.S. Senator and founder of Chevy Chase, Maryland. In 1902, Newland sponsored the Newlands Reclamation Act which allowed the federal government to begin irrigation of the West. He founded the Chevy Chase Land Co. which established neighborhoods on the D.C.-Maryland border. He purchased over 1,700 acres of land and named it Chevy Chase to honor his Scottish homeland. In 1990, the fountain was refurbished by The Chevy Chase Land Co. to recognize the 100th anniversary of the founding of Chevy Chase. The fountain was rededicated and recognized by the National Register of Historic Places.A proposal was made by Gary Thompson, a member of the Advisory Neighborhood Commission, to rename the fountain in December, 2014 due to Newlands’ white supremacist views. Several of Newlands’ descendants responded with a letter to the Chevy Chase Advisory Neighborhood Commission opposing renaming the fountain and asserting that the proposed resolution was misleading and discounted Newlands’ legislative and civic accomplishments. Because the fountain is on National Park Service land, and named by Congress, changes would likely require an act of Congress and agreement from several agencies including the National Park Service.Thompson asserted that Newlands excluded non-whites from the neighborhood, but the Chevy Chase Historical Society reported that Newlands never included racial covenants in the land deeds for Chevy Chase. Such restrictions were not included in the early deeds, though some sections of Chevy Chase included race and religion restrictions by the 1930s, however these were not created by Newlands, who died in 1917. The Historical Society conceded that while Newlands’ views on race are on public record, they were widely held beliefs throughout the nation during Newlands’ lifetime.".
