SPOKANE, Wash. – The Spokane City Council approved a resolution to proceed with the removal and transfer of the Monaghan statue.
The statue is currently located in front of the Spokane Club at the intersection of Monroe Street and Riverside Avenue in downtown Spokane.
The council voted Monday night 5 to 2 in favor of the removal during planned construction to straighten out the intersection.
The statue of John Monaghan has stood for nearly 120 years.
