Eugene
Shelton-McMurphey-Johnson
House
303 Willamette Street, Eugene, Or 97401, email:
director@smjhouse.org
The Shelton-McMurphey-Johnson House has been a landmark in
Eugene for more than a century. Although many changes have
been made over the years, the house - with its carved and
turned exterior wood work, polygonal tower, ornate open
porches, and large bay windows - remains Eugene's most
elaborate example of Late Victorian Queen Anne Revival style
architecture.

Beekman Bank
Built in 1863 and unchanged since 1912, when C.C. Beekman closed the bank. Open
from 1 to 5 during the summer.
Beekman House
A well-preserved home, Beekman house reflects the lifestyle of a
well-to-do 19th-century businessman. The 1875 house contains original
furnishings. It was the home of Cornelius C. Beekman, gold freighter, Wells
Fargo agent and banker. Beekman's progress from apprentice carpenter to founder
of the second bank in the Pacific Northwest is a classic pioneer tale.

level and commands a view of five mountains in the Cascade
Range. It is an outstanding architectural achievement,
combining fine plasterwork, cut and polished marbles, cast
bronze, and superbly crafted hardwoods and paneling. The house
is completely furnished with antique furniture and objets
d'art appropriate to its 17th, 18th, and 19th century French
and English designs.
