Description
Sailors and Soldiers Monument)
Our Lady of Victories is the most prominent piece of public art in Portland. In late nineteenth century America, it became customary to erect civic monuments in memory of historic events and people, and in 1873, seven years after the devastation of Portland�s Great Fire, an association was formed under the leadership of Brevet Brigadier General John Marshall Brown to erect a monument in honor of the 5,000 lives the city lost to the Civil War, fully one-sixth of its population. Located in Monument Square in the heart of downtown, Our Lady of Victories commemorates those Portland Civil War soldiers.
