Local businessman Clinton P. Ferry acquired the statue in Genoa, Italy, [4] in 1891, during the park's development. [2] [5]

The sculpture was restored by artist Lynn Di Nino, in order to repair damage caused by vandalism. [1] According to the Tacoma Daily Index , "She fashioned the lips and nose of the ... statue in the likeness of those of the maiden statues located at the Division street entry."
