Oregon Inventory of Historic Properties <br />Historic Resource Survey Form <br />Pane 7 <br />County: Lane <br />Statement of Signficance (Use additional sheets if necessary) <br />Narrative Physical Description: <br />This two-story house was originally aone-story post-war bungalow. It is wood-frame, and built on a <br />concrete foundation. The original roof was raised to accommodate the second story, which has a covered <br />balcony on the south elevation. A shed roof addition has been built on the second story of the north <br />elevation. The shape of the original roof was likely a gable, while the shape of the new roof is similar to a <br />saltbox. Composition shingles cover the entire roof volume and the exterior walls are covered with milled <br />cedar shingles on the house's original first story. Vertical paneled siding covers the second story addition. <br />The house's fenestration is varied and includes the original multi-pane windows on the first story and <br />aluminum sliding windows on the second story. <br />Statement of 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 houses on this block of W. C Street, this house was built during that <br />decade to accommodate the growth in population.. No ownership or residents records were located for this <br />house. Therefore based on the research, it does not appear that this house is associated with significant <br />historical events or people, nor does it possess architectural significance. Furthermore, this house does not <br />retain integrity of its original design. HRA recommends that 416 North Mill Street be determined not eligible <br />for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. <br />References: <br />Lane County <br />n.d.
