Mooney Memorial Fountain, Heritage memorial fountain in Brisbane, Australia.

The ornamental fountain stands at the intersection of Queen and Eagle Streets, constructed from porphyry, sandstone, granite, and marble materials.

The fountain was built between 1878 and 1880 by William Webster, funded by Brisbane Municipal Council and public donations totaling £627.

The memorial structure honors James Mooney, a volunteer firefighter who lost his life during a fire on Queen Street in March 1877.

The monument measures 3.9 meters square at its base and rises to 10 meters, featuring four corner columns with decorated capitals and Gothic arches.

The fountain incorporates Brisbane tuff stone, Murphys Creek sandstone, and granite from Mount Alexander in Victoria within its Victorian architectural design.
