The Goddess of Commerce is a 700-pound, 7-foot tall bronze sculpture installed in Tacoma, Washington. Created by Marilyn Mahoney, the statue is a replica of the 1885[1] original artwork which "once represented Tacoma's economy" at the former Chamber of Commerce building.[2]

History

[edit | edit source]

The replica was planned for Tollefson Plaza, but was instead erected near the intersections of South Sixth Avenue, South Baker Street, and St. Helens Avenue on August 31, 2011.[3][4]

As was done to many notable statues at the time, a face mask was placed on the artwork in March 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic.[5]
