A reproduction of the Richard Bock-designed “Spirit of Mercury” statue will be auctioned to raise money for the Park Inn restoration effort.
Steve Maxon of Max-Cast in Kalona reproduced the statues in bronze.
“The statue being reproduced for the auction stands approximately 28 inches tall and has an armspread 27½ inches wide. It will be made out of a base of gypsum cement with fiberglass and acrylic reinforcing and then covered with a bronze powder, giving it the appearance of bronze.”
