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]
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]
