Annie and Fannie
"Annie" and "Fannie" are a pair of statues in Tacoma, Washington's Wright Park, in the United States.
Sometimes collectively referred to as the "Dancing Girls" and "Greek Maidens", the sculptures flank the park's entrance at Division Avenue. Depicting dancing Greek maidens, the similar artworks were cast in a sandstone and concrete composite. Both were purchased and donated by local businessman Clinton P. Ferry in Europe in 1891, during the park's development. Their nicknames refer to Charles Wright's daughter and the park's proximity to Annie Wright Seminary, as well as the Fannie Paddock Hospital. Also known as "Violet" and "Pansy" during the 1930s, the sculptures were restored and erected on marble bases in 2009.
