Set within a leafy city park lies this attractive fountain that houses a museum-worthy sculpture (Rebecca). The fountain and sculpture date back to the late 1920’s. It was gifted to the city by Joseph Shemanski, a Polish Jewish immigrant who wanted to thank the city for all it had offered him. Unfortunately, over the years it fell into disrepair, but in the late 1980’s (and again in the mid-2000’s) repair and restoration of the statue and fountain took place. Today, it is included in guidebooks of Portland as well as part of walking tours. It is located just steps from the Portland Art Museum as well as the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall. The park itself also hosts a farmer’s market.
