Ribarski Pripovijest (A Fish Story) by local Tacoma Artist Larry Anderson, stands literally in front of the Slavonian Hall. Mr. Anderson's other sculptures can be seen in front of Union Station, in Wright Park, Firemans's Park and at various local college campuses. Many people immigrated from Croatia and Scandinavia. When they came to Tacoma the Slavonian Hall was there to help them settle in, and to be a hub for their community. The Hall was built in 1907, and continues to have active members of the community that preserve their Croatian heritage, culture and history. The group commissioned The Fish Story sculpture in 2002 to celebrate the Croatian fishing history in Tacoma. The public can rent the Hall for events as well. #Tacoma #253 #GritCity #CityOfDestiny #TacomaWashigton #tacomawa #VisitTacoma #ExploreTacoma #MoveToTacoma #GetOutAndEnjoyTacoma #GetToKnowTacoma #TacomaMurals #TacomaArt #Slavonian #SlavonianAmerican #murals #LarryAnderson #AFishStory (at Slavonian American Benevolent Society)
