Abstract
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.
