Summary

[edit]
Description

The Oscar Straus Memorial Fountain, dedicated in 1947 as a tribute to the diplomat and Secretary of Commerce and Labor, has been restored and returned to its original location on the Plaza at the Reagan International Trade Center, 14th St. side

The memorial is comprised of a low, three-tiered fountain with two bronze sculptured groups set on granite pedestals on either side. A bronze plaque summarizes the highlights of Mr. Straus's career. The fountain is flanked on the left (as one faces the Ronald Reagan Building) by a reclining female figure dressed in classical robes with her hands clasped in prayer. This figure represent the opportunity and religious freedom that Oscar Straus found in the United States and commemorate what he gave back in service to his adopted country.

Inscription on the base reads as follows:

"Our right to worship in not a concession or a priviledge but an inherent right"
