Paul Bunyan is an iconic figure in American folklore, the tales of whose exploits of superhuman labor originated as oral tales of the loggers of North America and were further popularized during the 19th Century by William B. Laughead. Today, statues of this giant lumberjack can be found across the USA but, perhaps, one of the most famous out of all of them is the Paul Bunyan Statue in Portland. The statue towers over the corner of Denver and Interstate Avenues at a height of 9.4 meters (31 feet). Built in the year 1959 to commemorate 100 years of Oregon attaining statehood, the statue is now considered a national heritage.

Located on the streets of Portland, the Emerson Apartments stands out in its appearance with the beautiful Early Commercial style architecture. Standing still on less than one acre of land., this three story structure is lovely from within too, and is registered on the National Register of historic places.
Portland boasts a number of gorgeous historical churches and this one is no exception. The north Portland church was built in 1921 and has provided years of uplifting prayer to the Catholic denomination. The structure shimmers with ornate stained glass windows. An antique pipe organ and intricate bell tower are pleasing to all the senses. The parish, which was originally referred to as St. Clements, is active in the community, volunteering in a number of charitable programs.
