In 2023, with the second rebuild of Andrews Square, Portland Rotary, in partnership with the Andrews Square Improvement Project, purchased new benches and planters for the square.
The Andrews Square Memorial was originally dedicated in 1921 and was a gift from Portland Rotary in memory of Harold T. Andrews, the first soldier from Maine to die during WWI. In 2015, Portland Rotary was involved in the restoration of the memorial which included the restoration of the bronze plaque and granite base.
This most recent donation follows in Rotary’s rich history of support and collaboration with the City of Portland, which includes Rotary Grove on the Eastern Prom Trail, “The Armillary” statue on the waterfront, the Rotary Clock in Monument Square, the elevator in Merrill Auditorium, and the Kotzchmar Organ Restoration.
