I'll see if I can find a full-tree image. There is one even wider by a foot in California, but have not seen it. For Oregon, go to this page...
Oregon.com - Oregon Coast Heritage Trees
Click on the Monterey cypress photo to get a bigger image. Note how large the trunk is compared to the table and chairs in front.
EDIT... Found a page with the feet....

Another page I found, says that a Mr. "Blake" planted the tree at his 1850s home there by Brookings, Oregon.
One golf course image shows trees very similar in form to the big ones on our coast...

See golfers for size comparison. The branch / leader stucture near brookings looks almost the same, but is has more foliage out on the limbs and looks greener.
