| dc.description.abstract | MarAbel B. Fohnmayer Music Building has undergone a number of changes throughout the years. In 1921, the University of Oregon constructed the School of Music building, designed by Ellis Lawrence. The original building consisted of a long, rectangular two-story building with wood shingles and fabric awnings. A concert hall was also a part of the original design plan, which was completed in 1924 and connected to the shingled building. Both the concert hall and the two-story building were in Ellis Lawrence's original design plan. At the time of its construction, the site was quite distant from the main campus, due to the faculty’s desire to be as far away as possible from the railroad (then Franklin Blvd). World War II army barracks, located to the north of the building (but not connected to any of the original structures), temporarily housed classrooms and practice rooms, and did so until the 1977 addition was completed. There is speculation that the south wing of the original structure was made of surplus World War I barracks. While twostory SATC (Students Army Training Corps) barracks were constructed near University Avenue in 1918, no evidence has been found to support the claim that the music building was constructed of these barracks three years later. | en_US |
