If you keep an eye out as you pass The House of Doors in Cheshire, Connecticut, you’ll spy a strapping, square-jawed depiction of Paul Bunyan looming incongruously over the landscape. This 26-foot-tall Muffler Man was erected to stand guard in front of a lumber business in the 1980s.
In 2019, Paul Bunyan was temporarily removed for a minor refurbishment, then returned. His axe was replaced with an American flag due to a violation of town codes regarding its height, despite the lack of regulations on flagpole height.
