Catholic Total Abstinence Union Fountain

''The Catholic Total Abstinence Union Fountain'' (1874-77) – also known as ''The Catholic Total Abstinence Centennial Fountain'' or ''The Centennial Fountain'' – is a now defunct ornamental fountain and drinking fountain located in West Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Created as an attraction for the 1876 Centennial Exposition, it was commissioned by the Catholic Total Abstinence Union of America, a religious organization that advocated for total abstinence from alcohol.
==Creation==
The fountain was intended to symbolize "the power of religion, the virtues of temperance, and the Irish Catholic love of patriotism and liberty."〔("The Centennial Fountain," ) ''Potter's American Monthly Magazine'', vol. 6, no. 49 (January 1876), p. 70.〕 It was designed by German-born-and-trained sculptor Herman Kirn, who was living in Philadelphia.〔Little is known about Herman Kirn. He had been a student of sculptor Carl Johann Steinhauser of Karlruhe, Germany, who provided letters of recommendation, (Gasparini, p. 26). Kirn's only other major work is an 1883 statue of William Penn, titled ''Toleration'', also in Fairmount Park. In later years, Kirn worked as caretaker for the sculpture collection in Fairmount Park, (Gasparini p. 55). He may have been the Herman F. Kirn, Sr. who died in Reading, Pennsylvania in 1929.()〕 In February 1874, he exhibited a 12-foot diameter plaster of Paris model at the city's Academy of Music.〔Gasparini, pp. 23-24.〕 Fund-raising for the project was slow, and it wasn't until the following autumn that Kirn formally received the commission.〔Gasparini, p. 27.〕 Tyrolean marble was chosen for the statues, and Kirn moved to southern Austria to carve them at a quarry in Laas.〔Gasparini, p. 40. Note: Following World War I, the Austrian region of South Tyrol became part of Italy.〕
