If they are of historic importance then the heritage and/or historic keys
may
apply.  https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:heritage and
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:historic
Although historic=* doesn't list fountain as a core value, taginfo shows
196 historic=fountain and 119 historic=drinking_fountain.  Both historic
and heritage
keys are treated specially by the Historic Place map at
