Thompson Elk Fountain, also known as the David P. Thompson Fountain,[1]David P. Thompson Monument,[2]Elk Fountain, the Thompson Elk,[3] or simply Elk, was a historic fountain and bronze sculpture by American artist Roland Hinton Perry. The fountain with its statue was donated to the city of Portland, Oregon, United States, in 1900 for display in Downtown Portland's Plaza Blocks. It was owned by the City of Portland.
The monument became a gathering place for demonstrations by George Floyd protesters, who lit several fires in the troughs along the base in July 2020.[4] The damaged bronze elk statue was removed for cleaning and safekeeping on July 2, 2020.[5][6][7] The stone fountain was removed on July 17, 2020, after RACC determined there was severe damage to the stone and basin of the fountain.[4]
