The only reason the obelisk is there is because the landlord saw it in a vision in his dreams and decided to build it.

On November 27, 2007, I inquired about an obelisk in front of Portland Valve and Fitting Co.’s office. I took a photograph of the obelisk from my car window as it was raining. I looked at the entire base but could not find any markings or plaque.
I talked to a person in the office who later spoke to his co-worker to find out the history of the obelisk since there was no plaque or markings. He sent me an e-mail on Tuesday, December 4th saying that “unfortunately there really is no fascinating reason for it”. He discovered that "the only reason it is there is because the landlord saw it in a vision in his dreams and decided to build it." I thought that was a very fascinating reason.
