Portland Building Gosh, that statue is tall!

1150 Southwest Fifth Avenue Portland, OR 97204

Architect Michael Graves designed this "art moderne" building in 1982. Perched atop the Portland building, Portlandia, the alleged spirit of Portland, stands 38 feet tall and clutches a trident. This six and a half-ton statue was adopted from an old Portland city seal and now guards city government offices housed inside the building. Sculptor Raymond J. Kaskey created Portlandia and the stunning statue is made of copper sheeting over steel armature. If that isn't enough art for you, visit the Metropolitan Center for Public Art on the second floor.
