1. Grey, Zane, Cabin (Galice, Oregon)
Grey, Zane, Cabin (Galice, Oregon)
Description
The Zane Grey Cabin is located along the eastern border of Curry County, Oregon in township 33 south, range 9 west, section 18 of the Willamette Meridian. The cabin site, which is not accessed by road, is located deep within a forested canyon carved through the Klamath Range by the Rogue River. The 32-acre site consists of a compound of buildings, structures and landscape features located on a patented placer mining claim on Winkle Bar, an alluvial terrace within a horseshoe bend of the Rogue River. Of the 15 structures on the site, three are contributing features, while the remainder are considered non-contributing. The three contributing structures include a single-pen log cabin built by Zane Grey in 1926, a circa-1925 wooden boat constructed for and used by Zane Grey to navigate to the cabin, and an extensive dry-stacked stone retaining wall possibly constructed by 19th Century Chinese miners that Zane Grey incorporated into his landscape design. The 11 non-contributing structures are mostly modern, balloon framed structures including two ranch­style residences, a garage and several utility buildings constructed after the property was purchased from the heirs of Zane Grey in 1963.

7. Theodore Roosevelt Junior High School (Eugene, Oregon)
Theodore Roosevelt Junior High School (Eugene, Oregon)
Description
Roosevelt Junior High School was found to be historically significant by the Oregon State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) but it is being replaced. In order to mitigate the loss of the school, District 4J has undertaken several measures to document the history and use of the school and its relationship to the community under the terms of an agreement with SHPO and the US Army Corps of Engineers, which has review authority for the project through issuance of a wetlands permit. This documentation is one of those measures., The 1949–1950 International Style Roosevelt Junior High (Middle) School, in Eugene, Lane County, Oregon, was designed by Portland architects Wolff and Phillips. Built to its current configuration over a period of years, it replaced the 1924 Roosevelt Junior High, which was converted to Condon Elementary School in 1953 and is now owned by the University of Oregon, known as Agate Hall. The subject school is representative of the community’s response to post-World War II population growth as well as the changing architectural trends of the mid-twentieth century. As evaluated under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, Roosevelt Middle School was found to be historically significant for its association with post-World War II educational shifts and trends, and for its architectural character as a good local example of the International Style, which came into common use in the years following the war. Although not the first post-war school constructed in Eugene—it was preceded by Colin Kelly Junior High—and certainly not the last to be built in response to the Baby Boom, Roosevelt became a lauded focal point of new, progressive pedagogical approaches, and the building reflected those ideas architecturally. The original portion of the new school building was constructed in 1949–1950, with historic-period additions made between 1950 and 1957 (in 1950, 1951, 1954, 1955, and 1957). As need dictated, various incremental additions were made in the 1960s (in 1965 and 1968), and some minor alterations in 1976 and 1978. The building suffered a fire in 1985, the repairs from which resulted in some change to its front (north) facade appearance. Overall, however, the building retains sufficient historical integrity to convey its period of construction and its original character, design and architectural style. Today, Roosevelt Middle School is representative of the design and evolution of mid-twentieth century school buildings throughout the region. The original plan and subsequent additions follow the trends and needs of that time: to provide communities with safe, pleasant, economical schools for the rapidly growing student population. The Eugene School District 4J will demolish the building in 2016 and starting Fall of 2016 students will attend the newly completed Roosevelt Middle School, currently under construction immediately to the west of the subject building., The building was destroyed in 2016.
