Allow Me, colloquially known as "The Umbrella Man", is a life-size bronze statue by world-renowned sculptor J. Seward Johnson. It was anonymously donated to the City of Portland in 1984 specifically to be displayed at the Square, where it has stood in the northwest corner ever since.

Johnson's work appears in many public places worldwide, as far away as Paris, France, and as close as Beaverton, Oregon. Some of his notable works are sculptures inspired by the paintings of famous artists like Monet, Manet, and Van Gogh. Allow Me is a well-known tourist photo location, and even gets dressed up during the holiday season. Stop by and see this beautiful work the next time you are nearby the Square!
