AL URQUHART ugene Weekly asked geographer Al Urquhart to let us in on some of his favorite spaces and places in Eugene. What would he show summer visitors from larger Western cities — Portland, Seattle? We don’t want sites simply of local interest. With these places and spaces Urquhart said he is trying to show the unique character of Eugene and Springfield. Urquhart taught cultural geography at the UO for about 30 years and has been keenly interested in the unfolding of this area. Let us know what you would add or subtract from this list. E BUILDINGS First Christian Church, Wayne Morse Federal Courthouse, old Unitarian Church, Eugene Public Library, Shelton McMurphey Johnson House and these special places on the UO campus: Deady Hall, Gerlinger Hall, Jaqua Center and the Museum of Natural and Cultural History.
