Abstract
Agate House is a Craftsman bungalow that was acquired by the Eugene School District and moved adjacent to Agate Hall,
which was known as Theodore Roosevelt Junior High School until 1950 and then Condon Elementary School until 1983. After the
move, the house was used as classrooms. It has a rectangular plan, with 2 stories and a concrete foundation. The primary exterior
material is clapboard siding, and the roof is of a gable configuration with composite shingles. The windows are primarily 4/1 double
hung sash made of wood, and decorative features include an exposed eave, rafter tails, and verge boards.
Not much is known about this resource other than it was moved to be utilized as classrooms and was acquired by the
University at the same time they purchased Condon Elementary in 1984. The house is listed as a dwelling with an address of 1803
Agate Street in a 1925 Sanborn Map. While it is an example of a typical Craftsman bungalow, it is not exemplary of the style and is not
eligible for the National Register as an individual resource. With its fair integrity and very low significance, it is ranked it as a noncontributing
resource.
