Why it's on the map
The monument was unveiled on September 5, 1897 at Market, Turk and Mason Streets, and dedicated to the Native Sons of the Golden West on September 9, 1897.
The Cogswell Fountain also gave what was first thought to be soda water to the boys, but which turned out to be castor oil.
