Statue of Paul Bunyan (Portland, Oregon)

Paul Bunyan Statue is a 31-foot-tall (9.4 m) concrete and metal sculpture of mythical logger Paul Bunyan in the Kenton neighborhood of Portland, Oregon, United States. It was built in 1959 to commemorate the centennial of Oregon's statehood during the Centennial Exposition and International Trade Fair, which was held in the Kenton area.

History

The sculpture was originally prominently placed at the intersection of North Interstate Avenue (then U.S. Route 99) and North Argyle Street, and now stands at the corner of North Interstate and North Denver, about 15 feet south of its original location. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in January 2009.

The statue was the Highlighted Property of the Week when the National Park Service released its weekly list of February 6, 2009.
