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.

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.

Tree Tops Historic Context
(University of Oregon, 2016) Campus Planning, University of Oregon
Tree Tops--also known historically as the Hampton House, Campbell Church House, and most recently the Chancellor’s House--was built from 1908-1910 for prominent local businessman Alton Hampton. One of the first grand houses to be built in the southern, hillier area of Fairmount (known as Fairmount Heights), Tree Tops was part of a building and population boom in Eugene. According to the Fairmount History Project, a record-high 266 homes, 56 in Fairmount alone, were built in 1909. Tree Tops is one of several important early estates on the electric streetcar Fairmount Loop. Other important, adjacent estates include the Washburne Estate (c. 1920), the Fellman-Jewett Residence (1921), and the McMorran House (1925), which continues to house the acting University of Oregon president. Like Alton Hampton, George McMorran and his partner Carl Washburne were successful Eugene businessmen. Wilson H. Jewett was a Eugene lumberman and the brother of Mrs. Washburne. These estates, built into the same steeply sloping hillside, all have panoramic views of the University and the city below.

Chapman Hall Preliminary Window Assessment
(University of Oregon, 2015-06) Campus Planning, Design & Construction, University of Oregon
Windows are some of the most significant character-defining features of any building. From window opening, to frame, to sash, to glazing, their construction and materials play a major role in the design of the building’s facade and overall composition. A building’s window and facade design can indicate the aesthetic style, building materials, and building technologies of their time and place. Inappropriate or unsympathetic window upgrades and treatments can drastically alter the appearance of a building. With that said, concerns over energy conservation, continued maintenance, and other considerations have lead to growing needs of window treatments and alterations for our historic buildings. This assessment identifies and documents the general condition of the typical window types found in Chapman Hall and provides a variety of treatment recommendations for their continued use. This initial assessment is intended to be used as a preliminary resource for the treatment of Chapman Hall’s original historic windows when planning any alterations or additions.

Historic Resource Survey Form : Howe Field/Howe Gates and Associated Wall and Fence
(University of Oregon, 2014) Thompson, Christine; Phillips, Ann
Howe Field was constructed in 1935. It is named in honor of Herbert Crombie Howe, a professor in the English department at the University of Oregon from 1902-1940. Dr. Howe, a long-standing supporter of athletes’ rights, was a faculty representative to the Pacific Coast Conference from 1915-1959 (now PAC-12 although the correlation between the two conferences is questioned) and a member of the athletic board. In 1938, the wrought iron entrance gates, concrete wall and ticket booth, and wrought iron fence were added to the perimeter of the field from McArthur Court south to 18th Avenue. The project was largely funded by the WPA. Additional funding was provided by donations from the classes of 1918, 1919, 1930, and 1936 along with the Soldiers’ Memorial fund and the Associated Students of the University of Oregon (ASUO). The University of Oregon baseball team played at Howe Field until 1981 when the program was cut due to budgetary restrictions. The University of Oregon softball team began playing on the field in 1987 and continues to play there today. The first baseball club at the University of Oregon was organized in 1877. A general lack of interest in the sport prevented a University sponsored program until the autumn of 1905 when the sport of baseball was adopted as a regular college activity. Over the years, baseball games have been played in numerous locations including the northeast corner of 13th Avenue and Kincaid Street, in the area directly south of Hayward Field, and finally at Howe Field, then called “Anonymous Field” beginning in 1935. “Anonymous Field” was named Howe Field in the spring of 1936.
