<p>least traditional and probably the best of Belluschis Oregon churches. The material is all wood, and while there is no obvious suggestion of the forms of vernacular building, there can be no doubt that it is suitable for the small community in which it is sited. It would seem that in this design Belluschi had become so imbued with the spirit of the region that no obvious similarity of shape was necessary to give it the feeling of belonging."</p><br>
<p>The Elmer Harlow House is a historic residence in Eugene, Oregon, United States.

The building&#39;s name was changed in 1918 to honor John Wesley Johnson, the first president of the university.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Johnson Hall, when it was constructed in 1915, was originally designed to house administrative offices and other campus services just like it still does today. The second floor includes the offices of the President, Registrar, Business Manager and all of their related support facilities. All other services were located on the first and basement floors. In its beginnings, Johnson Hall housed the Guild Theater, major department offices, classrooms and a collections exhibit. At the time when the building was completed the total cost of the project amounted to $103,829.96 making it the most expensive building on campus in 1915.</p><br>
<p>In 1949, renovation removed the Guild Theater whose function was replaced by the "New University Theater" (Robinson Theater at Villard Hall). The beloved glass panels on the roof of Johnson were dispersed after the renovation. Some sections of the panels were located at the Erb Memorial Union until when in 1998 restoration once again moved the stained glass panels. Today some portions of the glass panels can be seen in the Johnson Hall boardroom while others can be seen in the second story windows of Lawrence Hall.</p><br>
<p>With the late 1960s and early 1970s came the Counterculture and anti-war sentiment. Eugene was flooded with anti-war rallies as students began to take a side against the American conflict in Vietnam. On March 23, 1970 students entered took to Johnson Hall and held an all-night sit-in. Administration allowed the sit-in after talking to the crowd and announcing that as long as the students allowed the administration to return home to their families, they would permit the protestors to remain in the building overnight. The president, however, constantly reminded the students that their occupation of the building was an infraction of the law. According to newspaper reports as many as 200 students spent the night in Johnson Hall.</p><br>
<p>The sit-in continued all day Thursday and by that evening there seemed to be no resolution in sight. President Robert Clark informed the protesters that he would not allow them to remain in the building for another night. He also told them that if they did not leave peacefully they would be arrested for trespassing. Clark finally made the decision to call the police. Eugene police, backed by Lane County sheriff&#39;s deputies, entered the building from the front and rear doors.</p><br>
<p>Students did not try to resist until they were pulled out of the circle they had formed on the floor of the lobby and handcuffed. After this, chaos erupted at the south entrance of the building while a group of protesters staged a sit-down around the police vans. The police reacted quickly and released tear gas, clearing a way for the vans. It was at that point the National Guard entered. The crowd of spectators swelled outside Johnson Hall that day to about 700 people after the sit-in was dispersed. Many followed the police vans as they made their hurried exit from campus, throwing rocks, trash and anything they could find. The police and national guard intervention resulted in 61 arrests for trespassing and or disorderly conduct that day.</p><br>
<h2>Architecture</h2><br>
<p>Johnson Hall is of the classically derived American Renaissance style. The style and elevations are unique to the Eugene area. The building itself is composed of brick veneer, terra cotta, and reinforced concrete. Through the years the interior of the building has had some renovations but all in all it still retains its original design very well (minus the Guild Theater). When it was first constructed by Knighton in 1915, the building consisted of a four-sided pitched roof with a flat fifth surface in the middle. The middle surface consisted of a large skylight that allowed light in through the center of the building.</p><br>
<p>Contextually within the campus design, Johnson Hall completes a north/south axis. With its two glass door entrances, the design helps to maintain the relationship between the "Old Quadrangle" and the "Woman&#39;s Quadrangle". Further, the building is contextually significant in the campus design, placing the administration building close to the center of campus.</p><br>
<h3>Ellis Lawrence Contribution</h3><br>
<p>Ellis F. Lawrence, the university&#39;s major architect was involved with parts of the design for Johnson Hall in addition to Knighton. President Prince Lucian Campbell referred to Lawrence as the "advisory architect" during the construction and even though his contributions were small, Lawrence was said to have had four inputs during the construction of the building.</p><br>
<p>He found the location and advised from an outside position on its design with Knighton.</p><br>
<p>He attempted to improve the acoustics of the Guild Theater with different drapes and floor covering; however, no one is sure if this was accomplished or not.</p><br>
<p>When the hall was named in honor of the university&#39;s first president, Johnson in 1918, Lawrence advised against the terra cotta frieze on which "Administration Building" appeared and instead advocated for using a sign with 6-inch bronze Roman letters over the entrance which read "Johnson Hall". This sign still remains above the entrance today.</p><br>
<p>In 1919 Lawrence advised Glenn Stanton from the school of architecture to design the bronze commemorative sign which is also inside the building today.</p><br>
<h2>Appearances in media</h2><br>
<p>In 1978 Johnson Hall was featured in the American comedy film National Lampoons Animal House, directed by John Landis. Several scenes were shot inside the Deans office and outside the building&#39;s north entrance.</p><br>
<p>The Lane Hotel, also known as the Lane Building, is a historic former hotel building in Eugene, Oregon, United States.</p><br>
<p>The hotel was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977, under its then-current name Palace Hotel.</p><br>
<p>Opened as the Gross Hotel, and later named Griggs and Palace, the building was used as a hotel until 1978. It was known as the Lane Hotel for 50 years. Today the building houses a variety of offices and small businesses.</p><br>
<p>The Parvin Bridge is a covered bridge located in Lane County, Oregon, USA near Dexter. It was built in 1921 as a single-lane 75 ft bridge across Lost Creek, a tributary of the Middle Fork Willamette River.</p><br>
<p>The bridge was a replacement for a 66 ft Howe truss design which failed a 1917 inspection by bridge inspector J. W. McArthur. He wrote, "An old bridge. Chords badly worm eaten. Downstream chord has been reinforced in middle by a timber bolted on. Wood is but little better than a powder from worm action. All signs indicate a new bridge in from 2 to 4 years."</p><br>
<p>George W. Breeding constructed the present bridge at the same site in 1921 for $3,617, equivalent to $ today. It is also a Howe truss and includes a 62 ft eastern approach and a 17 ft western approach. Roadwork in the mid-1970s realigned the road to bypass the bridge, being accessible only to pedestrians afterwards. A dedication ceremony was held November 17, 1986, to reopen the renovated span to vehicle traffic with a 10 ST load limit.</p><br>
<p>The Parvin Bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<p>The Quackenbush Hardware Store, located in Eugene, Oregon, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The store opened in 1903 under the name J. W. Quackenbush&#39;s, selling farm implements, hardware, and horse-drawn vehicles. Gradually the inventory shifted to kitchen items and dinnerware, toys, and gift items. The store closed in 1980.</p><br>
<p>The 1.5-story building is of red brick construction in an American stretcher bond, commercial style characterized by large display windows on the ground floor. The architect and builder are unknown. In 1969 the building was saved from urban renewal demolition by a group of concerned citizens.</p><br>
<p>The Wendling Bridge is a covered bridge in Lane County in the USA state of Oregon. The 60 ft Howe truss structure carries Wendling Road over Mill Creek in the unincorporated community of Wendling. Built in 1938, the bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.</p><br>
<p>Lane County built four covered bridges, including the Wendling Bridge, in 1938. The others are the Pengra, Goodpasture Bridge, and Earnest bridges. A. C. Striker was then the county bridge superintendent.</p><br>
<p>Notable features of the bridge include semi-elliptical portal arches and ribbon openings at the eaves. The structure was named for the town, which had been named after George X. Wendling, a San Francisco millionair who provided the largest investment into Booth-Kelly&#39;s expansion in the Mohawk valley in 1899.</p><br>
<p>Woodrow Wilson Junior High School, located in Eugene, Oregon, United States, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Architect Frederick Manson White of Portland designed the 57,120 square-foot building to accommodate 840 students. White also designed the other school built that year in Eugene, Roosevelt Junior High on Agate Street. After it opened in September 1925, Wilson became a central part of middle school education in western Eugene. In 1953, the Wilson school was converted to an elementary school and renamed Lincoln Elementary School. Aspects of the building were altered to accommodate smaller students, such as lowered blackboards and bathroom fixtures. The original twenty classrooms were reduced to fourteen, creating larger interior spaces that included administrative offices. The library was made smaller, and a storeroom and kitchen were added. After the school was closed and vacated by the school district in 1987, the building was repurposed as the Lincoln School Condominiums.</p><br>
