Dubbed by the media as the “world’s largest log cabin,” (actually, second largest), the Forestry Building was constructed as part of Portland’s Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition of 1905. The cabin was an enormous structure, measuring 206 feet long (62m), 102 feet wide (31m) and 72 feet high (22 meters, approximately 7 stories). A full million board feet of lumber went into it.

Its construction was said to have cost approximately $30,000 (about $950,00 today). Most of the giant logs used in the building were selected and purchased from old-growth trees in Columbia County, Oregon, by the American lumber baron and philanthropist Simon Benson.
