The Eugene Queen Anne is a historic residence in Eugene, Oregon, originally completed in 1901 and once surrounded by farmland at the edge of the University of Oregon campus. Acquired in a state of disrepair, the house had lost its interior character, suffered from structural instability due to a failing foundation, and lacked modern systems. Emerick Architects undertook a comprehensive restoration, addressing both the structural and architectural challenges while aiming to revive the building’s distinct early twentieth-century qualities. The restoration focused on the home's petite, light-filled rooms, preserving the original wood stairway and a distinctive 'barn' ceiling on the second floor. Original detailing was carefully recreated throughout, while new interiors introduced subtle, playful features and a varied mix of furnishings to complement the house’s revived historical character. The project is the result of two years of careful construction and finish work, reestablishing the presence of a Queen Anne dwelling within its changed urban context.
