Chapman and Lawnsdale Squares by Gypsystravels
Part of what makes Portland so attractive to me are its large open spaces. Here we came across a really nice square with a nice fountain of an elk. I did some research and came across this information provided below. "David P. Thompson drove sheep to Portland over the Oregon Trail. From 1879-1882 he served as Portland's Mayor. In 1900, Thompson's gift of this bronze elk sculpture was intended to commemorate elk that once grazed nearby. Roland Hinton Perry sculpted the elk. H. G. Wright."
