Oregon Inventory of Historic Properties <br />Historic Resource Survey Form <br />Pane 2 <br />County: Lane <br />Statement of Signficance (Use additional sheets ff necessary) <br />Narrative Physical Description: <br />This one-story post-war bungalow is a simple side-gabled, hall-and-parlor house. It is one-room deep and <br />two rooms wide. It is wood-frame, constructed on a concrete foundation, and the side-gabled roof extends <br />over the front door to provide a covered entry. The exterior walls are clad with milled cedar siding and the <br />entire roof volume is covered with composition shingles. The house has aluminum sliding windows. <br />Historical Significance: <br />This house was built in the middle of a population boom in Springfield, in which there was a 184 percent <br />increase in Springfield's population from 1940 to 1950. During this same period, the average growth rate for <br />the county was 82.9 percent. Like many infill houses in this neighborhood, this dwelling was built between <br />two homes that were constructed in 1920. Records show that Elizabeth Katherina Ellison was the first <br />owner of this house, which was built in 1946. The house was sold jointly to Henry and Mary ten Napel, and <br />L.G. and Lenora Gause in 1961. Henry ten Napel was the owner of Dutchy's Construction and Contracting <br />and L.G. Gause was a foreman at the company. There are no further records on the ownership or residents of <br />this house. Based on the research, it does not appear that this house is associated with significant.historical <br />events or people, nor does it possess architectural significance. HRA recommends that 119 W. D Street be <br />determined not eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. <br />References: <br />Eugene Springfield City Directory <br />1958 Eugene Springfield City Directory.
