Children visit Animal House site
By Betsy Clayton
Emerald Associate Editor
Second grader Virginia S.i I -
alar learned a little bit more
about Eugene's history Tuesday
when she and 13 other students
from Patterson Grade School
helped recognize one of Eu
gene's founders.
With volunteer Brad Perkins
leading the way. the class of
second and third graders in
stalled a plaque on a salt rock
at 755 E. 11th Ave. to recognize
the site of A VV. Patterson's
home, which before its demoli
tion was more commonly re
ferred lt» as "Animal House."
"I like to learn about Eugene.
It's fun and it's interesting,"
Salatar saitl after she helped
hammer a spike into the salt
ruck "I'm going to come track
and visit this."
One second grader insisted
he would come track and visit
the plaque when he is 85.
while another student an
nounced the history of Eugene
is Ok, but she probably won't
remember it when she is old
Perkins, owner of Preserva
tion Development Company in
Eugene, said he called Patter
son school to arrange the field
trip because tie wanted to teach
the children about the history
of their school's founder, Ida
Patterson, who was one of
A VV. Patterson's eight chil
dren.
Perkins walked the children
from Hilyard Street and Frank
lin Boulevard to the Masonic
Cemetery, 24th Avenue and
Onyx Street, with frequent
stops on corners to tell them
what buildings used to bo
there.
Xeroxed photographs from
lht> l.itn 1800s helped students
contrast what Eugene’s found
ers built and what exists today.
Perkins also described when
commercial development began
in Eugene and how that caused
many residents to move their
homes or tear them down after
the 1920s.
On the corner of 11th Avenue
and liilyard Street Perkins
pointed out the contrast be
tween a 1920s-stylo home at
708 11th Ave. and Oregon
Medical Laboratories, which
now stands next to it.
In addition to buildings. Per
kins emphasized lifestyles of
the people who once lived in
them Most students said they
watch television for night-time
entertainment. Perkins asked
them what they thought Patter
son and his family did in the
evenings.
Talk, drink coffee and tell
stories were common answers,
but one third grader said.
"They probably went skinny
dipping in tin; Millrace "
Actually, they played musi
cal instruments and sang
songs. Perkins said The Patter
son home was one of the first in
Eugene to build a room just for
musical purposes
The house many University
students know as "Animal
Mouse" was Patterson’s second
home on the site After coming
from Pittsburgh. Pa., to Eugene
on horseback in 1852. Patterson
established himself as the
town's physician However, he
discovered there weren’t
enough people in the town to
support his profession, so he
became a surveyor.
When he re-established his
medical practice in the 1880s.
he built his original home on
the 755 K. Utli Ave. site. In
180(1 he relocated the house
across the MUIroce so he could
build u second home.
The first home no longer
stands, and the second home
gained popularity when it was
used for the film Animal House
in 1078. However, it was also
torn down in spring 1080.
Many students said they
couldn't rerner t all the his
tory they wer taught during
the tour. Third grader Jamie
O'Brien was sure of this. He
liked learning all about it, "hut
1 doubt if I'll remember it." he
said.
Alice Brooks the communi
ty school coordinator for Dis
trict 4-1. said the children actu
ally retain a lot more knowl
edge than expected. "They lis
ten but they see a lot more.
When they gel back to school
you'd be surprised at what they
can tell the other kids." she
said.
The children also saw the
original site ol Patterson Grade
School on the corner of 13th
Avenue and Alder Street where
Sacred Heart General Hospital
now has a parking lot. The
school was built in 1 ‘>03 and
torn down in 1930. Students
agreed the Victorian-style
school in Perkins' photos did
not look like their school today,
which is located at 1510 W.
15th Ave.
The children ended their
walk at the Masonic Cemetery
where the Patterson family is
buried.
This was the Patterson stu
dents’ first historic trip to the
campus area. Brooks said, but
they have had several field
trips downtown to learn about
the history there.
