This is a quirky name for a Portland Gem - drinking water fountains all over the city. The goal of this page is to document, with pictures if possible, every single Benson Bubbler Water Fountain - founded in 1912.
The 128 drinking fountains
Single Bowl Bubblers
76 single-bowl variations
Double Bowl Bubblers
Triple Bowl Bubblers
52 Four Bowl Bubblers
- First Instance is a four bowl fountain ===
Apparently this is the first Benson Bubbler at SW Fifth and Washington:
- in front of Civic Auditorium on SW Third
- SW Front and Ankeny
Operation Times
- 5 am to 10 pm daily
History Mythology
- He wanted to offer loggers something cold on the streets to quench their thirst, instead of alcohol
- He saw a little girl crying at a parade because she was thirsty.
