| dc.description.abstract | Villard Hall, located on the University of Oregon campus in Eugene, survives as a distinguished example of Second Empire architecture in Oregon. The building was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1977, despite several periods of extensive interior remodeling and the addition of a theatre to the west elevation in 1948. Completed in 1886, the building is significant (a) for its architectural features designed by Warren Heywood Williams, a leading architect in Portland, Oregon (during the 1870-80s); and (b) for its association with Henry Villard, a highly successful railroad builder who generously donated to the University during its financially troubled early years. Many years of deferred maintenance has left the building in a severely deteriorated condition that is in need of immediate preservation and restoration action. The aim of this Master's "Terminal Project" was to produce a restoration and preservation plan that would supply drawings for the missing balustrade and urns which previously embellished the roof structure of Villard Hall. The project was selected in order (a) to fill the need for active independent research (on Villard Hall) to be conducted by students in the Historic Preservation Program and (b) to provide a view of the methodology necessary to produce a complete restoration and preservation plan for individual architectural details. | en_US |
