This saw sits, as decoration, in the parking lot at Camp 18 on highway 26 in Oregon. I was just driving by and snapped a picture. If anyone has more information on this saw by all means post it, or send it to me and I will add it here.

With some quick web research I found this from westernscalemodels.com

The saw stands over 25' tall, uses an 18" saw blade 60'60" long, and can handle logs up to 8' in diameter. It was built in 1929 for the Pope and Talbot Lumber Company mill at Port Gamble, Washington. In 1939, it was moved to St. Helens, Oregon, for the the McCormick Lumber Company and finally sold to Boise-Cascade Lumber Company where it was used until 1977. Today, the band-saw is on display at Camp 18, 60 miles west of Portland, Oregon.
