The Astoria Victory Monument - calls it the Doughboy Monument or Soldiers' Monument, a stoic statue, thrives in Astoria, Oregon's core. Designed by ol' Charles T. Diamond, this fella's Spanish Revival-style, got a nod from the National Register of Historic Places come November 15, 1984, and another shoutout from the Uniontown–Alameda Historic District on 1988. This old-timey stone geezer's a living, breathing tribute to days gone by, a memento of our World War I legacy, and a testament to good ol' craftsmanship.
