Possibly one of the buildings from one of the “Great Camps” built in the Adirondack Mountains in New York State built late 19th century into the early 20th century?

Now imagine those forests that were pillaged to build those worthless, no-longer-standing monuments and then understand what was robbed from you and your future generations…
The old growth forests that sustained wildlife and the native Americans are already mostly gone

The Forestry Cabin in Portland. Burned down in 1964.

Children are much larger these days, thanks to improvements in nutrition
idk seeing trees this big being cut down for a building that would eventually burn down is just kinda sad

I was in Portland a few months ago, for the third time, but this time, for personal reasons, not playing in a band (got there at night time, left at night time). My friend, now girlfriend, lives just down the street from Laurel Hurst Park, and Mt. Tabor Park. It was absolutely soul crushing for my Colorado self to see just how incredible the old growth trees were. We leveled entire forests of these to build our cities. We didn’t even think about the ecological impact. It is fucking disgusting. We have Bristle Cone pines in Colorado, thousands of years old, but they do not compare even slightly to the sheer SIZE of the old trees in Oregon. Once you see them for the first time, you will never be able to forgive what our society did to these forests in the past.

We made sure to kill every old growth in the country lmao. Only ones left are the ones that won at hide and seek.

It was built for the 1905 Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition and was a wonder. The interior trees were unhewn and it showcased modern logging methods. It was at 28th and Upshur, Portland OR, at the base of what would become one of the largest urban parks in the USA – Macleay/Forest Park.
The building was destroyed by fire in 1964 due to the old 1905 electrical wiring, despite attempts by Portland to rehab it after it fell into disrepair.
Prior to that and after WW2, a lot of small post-war houses were built around it in “lower” NW Portland, abutting the magnificent huge houses and old Victorian “cribs” on Thurman (the cable car and former prostitution street), Upshur, Vaughn, Wilson.
Some of these post-war middle-class houses served the rapid ship/boat building/repair/shipping.
It was a wonder no one was killed while the Forestry Building burnt up in 1964.

Living in the pacific northwest there are still places the have these enormous old growth tree slices. 7-8 feet across

Why you need to cut down 1000 yo living trees to build some trash cabin?
How possible to understand this logic?
And later exactly the same Americans – saying to other countries “Stop your factories because of blobal marmth things!!!”.
Same time in our third world country which considered worthless – people planted trees, and now we have man-made forests where was just sands and nothing at all.
