As I was walking back to my apartment from a Monument Square site visit, the mini Washington Monument caught my eye. It had been yet another monument that sunk into the background of my life, though I often stopped my runs there to stretch, aided by the support of the short rod iron fence. The monument had four names across the base: Portland, Falmouth, Casco, and Machigonne. The Congress St. side of the monument read: In honor of George Cleeves, founder of Portland, 1633.
