Straub Hall Window Condition Assessment
(University of Oregon, 2011-05) Campus Planning, Design and Construction, University of Oregon
The scale of Condition used for this survey is as follows: EXCELLENT = only superficial damage (like chipping paint), GOOD = will require some invasive repair to parts, FAIR = will require extensive invasive repair to parts, and POOR = window parts are unsalvagable. Overall, the assessed Straub Hall windows are in GOOD condition. This survey sought to assess all windows in the building, including basement windows and roof windows/skylights. Most of the damage to the windows is superficial. Areas most affected are the brick sills and the exterior wood sill/casings’ paint. In areas that have been without proper paint coverage (mainly the south and west facades), checking of the wood sills has occurred. Unless otherwise noted all window parts and hardware appear to be original. Most windows in the building, excluding select few that correspond with staircases or the like, have be designed to be operable. Some of these windows have since become inoperable for various reasons. Some of these windows are currently considered inoperable but only need new weight cords to be operable. The majority of the windows on the first, second, and third floors are double hung with wood muntins. The basement windows are mostly double casement windows or double hung, both with wood muntins. There are four windows that are double height. These are in the staircases stretching between the third and fourth floors.

Straub Hall Interiors Preliminary Historic Assessment
(University of Oregon, 2011-01) Campus Planning, Design and Construction, University of Oregon
Straub Hall is identified as a building with secondary historic significance (UO 4.0 Survey of Buildings). This means that it is likely to be eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Therefore, it is important to identify historically significant features and consider ways to preserve them. Each interior space with potential historic significance is assigned a ranking of high, medium, or low. In addition, the space’s integrity, defined as the degree to which the key historic elements are evident today, is ranked excellent, good, fair, or poor.

McMorran House and Gardens History
(University of Oregon, 2010-02) Campus Planning, Design and Construction, University of Oregon
The McMorran House was built for George McMorran in 1925 during a time when Eugene was experiencing its largest building and population boom, in accordance with the designs of Roscoe D. Hemenway, a respected architect and George H. Otten, landscape architect. George McMorran, was a man who greatly influenced the commercial life of Eugene and was also deeply involved in the organization and life of the community. George McMorran sold the house to the University of Oregon in 1941. Every resident thereafter has been a president of the University of Oregon and, therefore, has had a profound impact on the university. Roscoe D. Hemenway, a UO graduate and an acclaimed Portland architect known for his period revival style residential work, designed the McMorran house. The house is an excellent example of the Tudor Revival/Norman Farmhouse-style exemplified by its steeply-pitched, hipped roof; massive chimneys; dominant façade with decorative brickwork; oriel window; and pronounced entryway. The expansive gardens are likely the work of George H. Otten, another UO grad and well-known Oregon landscape architect.

McMorran House and Gardens Brochure
(University of Oregon, 2016-01) Campus Planning, University of Oregon
George McMorran was a very successful businessman, from the beginning of his partnership with Carl Washburne in 1910 until McMorran sold his shares to Washburne in 1937. They started in the dry goods industry working from a single small room. Within a year of opening, McMorran and Washburne became one of the most popular stores in Eugene. In 1921 they relocated to the Tiffany Building (then known as the Cockerline and Weatherbee building) on the northeast corner of 8th Avenue and Willamette Street. This building is still intact and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

Gerlinger Hall Alumni Lounge Distinguishing Features Report
(University of Oregon, 2016-03-16) Campus Planning and Facilities, University of Oregon
Gerlinger Hall (originally called Women’s Memorial Hall) at the University of Oregon was originally designed for two primary functions. One was women’s physical education. The second was to support “the social life of the University family.”1 Gerlinger Hall’s east wing was specifically designed for these social events. The Alumni Lounge (originally called Alumni Hall), and its associated East Stair and East Lobby, all of which exist today, still exhibit this intention and continues to be used for university and community events. The Alumni Lounge and its associated spaces, the East Stair, and East Lobby, are significant to Gerlinger Hall and the greater UO campus because of its craftsmanship and its association with the significant university figure, Mrs. Gerlinger, and campus architect, Ellis Lawrence. Much of the original historic fabric of the Alumni Lounge has been retained and it continues to be the most intact historic interior on campus. The Lounge, along with the building, Gerlinger Hall, is nationally recognized for its significance. In 1992 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. As stewards of the University and in compliance with the State Historic Preservation Office’s policies, it will be important to continue to retain as much of the historic fabric of the Lounge and its associated spaces as possible. Any alterations should not detract from the room’s distinguishing features. These features, further detailed information, and recommendations are outlined below.

Landscape Resource Survey : Villard Hall Green (c)
(University of Oregon, 2007) Welch, Dustin; Schaible, Daniel; Planning Office, University of Oregon
Villard Hall Green was at one time a well traveled entrance to the campus, and important enough to warrant placing the 1912 University Seal and a flagpole in front of Villard Hall’s north entry. Villard Hall Green maintained its character throughout the Inception and Lawrence/Cuthbert Eras with minor changes. As early as 1921 a rose bed was added to the lawn and remains in the same location today. When the Southern Pacific Railroad relocated its tracks across the Millrace at the end of the Lawrence/Cuthbert Era (1943), the vacated space along 11th Avenue and Franklin Boulevard was used to construct a retaining wall at the northern slope of the Green. By the Mid-Century Era the university had grown extensively to the south of 13th Avenue, and the Green received much less pedestrian use. In 1949 the Robinson Theatre was added to the west of Villard Hall, blocking the well-established circulation routes to the Green. Circa 1950 the 1912 University Seal was moved to the Erb Memorial Union. Despite these changes, Villard Hall Green, with its original path configuration, historic trees and remaining small scale features, retains strong associations with the Inception Era.

Landscape Resource Survey : University Street Axis (aa)
(University of Oregon, 2007) Welch, Dustin; Schaible, Daniel; Planning Office, University of Oregon
The University Street Axis has many street trees that date back to the period of significance. Of these trees the most distinct are the Pin oaks south of 13th Avenue, the Red maples near the Women’s Memorial Quadrangle Ensemble and the English oaks near Esslinger Hall. The Howe Field Gates were wrought by O.B. Dawson, a master blacksmith responsible for much of the iron work at Timberline Lodge and the University of Oregon. The gates are part of the Soldier’s Memorial of 1937 and extend to 18th Avenue. The Street has been the primary southern entrance to the university since the end of the Inception Era, and its association with the Pioneer Cemetery and McArthur Court are notable. The Street still retains its alignment and connection to the South University neighborhood.
