The Garibaldi Smokestack

A landmark on the Oregon Coast, in Garibaldi, OR. The stack was built in 1927 as part of the Hammond Sawmill and is the only part of the mill that survives. It was almost demolished for safety reasons in 2013 because the concrete had deteriorated so much in the sea air, but was instead preserved by sheathing it in fiberglass to forestall further decay. It was considered enough of a historical monument to warrant the effort!
