Catholic Total Abstinence Union Fountain, Public fountain sculpture in West Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, United States

The Catholic Total Abstinence Union Fountain has a 100-foot-wide stepped granite base shaped like a Maltese cross. At its center, a 15-foot marble Moses holds the Ten Commandments and stands on a beehive-shaped mound representing the Rock of Horeb. Four larger-than-life subsidiary statues stand on the cross arms: Archbishop John Carroll, Charles Carroll of Carrollton, Father Theobald Mathew, and Commodore John Barry.

The fountain was built between 1874 and 1877 as a commission for the 1876 Centennial Exposition. It was created by the Catholic Total Abstinence Union of America to promote temperance values and has remained a park landmark since.

The four outer statues honour Archbishop John Carroll, Charles Carroll of Carrollton, Father Theobald Mathew and Commodore John Barry, each on a granite pedestal with four lion-head spouts. Six portrait medallions on the basin wall commemorate Catholics who fought in the Revolutionary War, among them George Meade, Count Casimir Pulaski and the Marquis de Lafayette. The Union's seal also appears on the marble wall.

The fountain stands on a 100-foot-wide stepped granite base shaped like a Maltese cross, with a 40-foot basin at its center. Its sixteen drinking fountains were built into the four pedestals on the cross arms. The site is now defunct, so water no longer flows; the Moses statue's staff and horn are missing.

German-born sculptor Herman Kirn designed the work with a distinctive Maltese cross pattern as its base. The water was originally fed from the George's Hill reservoir, giving the fountain a special hydraulic feature.
