George Washington, Bronze sculpture in Rose City Park, Portland, US

The George Washington statue by Pompeo Coppini is a bronze figure about 95 inches tall, shown standing in a long coat, waistcoat, knee breeches and shoes, his right hand on a tall cane and a cloak over his left arm. It rested on a granite pedestal inscribed "GEORGE WASHINGTON / PRESENTED TO / THE CITY OF PORTLAND / BY / HENRY WALDO COE / 1927". Toppled in June 2020, it is no longer at the Rose City Park intersection.

Sculptor Pompeo Coppini created this work in 1926 to mark the 150th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. It is one of three Washington monuments that this artist made in different countries.

The statue was donated by physician Henry Waldo Coe, who commissioned several Portland monuments, including an equestrian Joan of Arc and a Theodore Roosevelt. It was dedicated on July 4, 1927, after Coe's death, with Reverend Youngson presenting it on the family's behalf. The figure holds a cane in his right hand, a detail visible in photographs.

The statue no longer stands at Northeast 57th Avenue and Sandy Boulevard; it was toppled in June 2020. In 2024 the city announced plans to re-install it at a location and date still to be determined, so check current status before visiting the Rose City Park intersection.

On the night of June 18, 2020, protesters set the statue aflame, toppled it and defaced it with slogans including "Genocidal Colonist" and "1619". The mayor of Sandy, Oregon, Stan Pulliam, then proposed re-erecting it, along with the city's Lincoln and Roosevelt statues, on that town's property. In 2024 Portland announced plans to re-install it at a location and date still undetermined.
