The Jacob C. Spores House was a house located between south of Coburg and north of Eugene, Oregon, [2] which was formerly listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was removed from the register on August 1, 2001. [3] The classical revival house underwent an "exceptional" restoration in 1975, but a September 1996 fire "destroyed most, if not all, of the historical value of the house". [2] [4] By 1998, the owners were again restoring the house, but according to the Oregon State Historic Preservation office, as of 2013, the house has been demolished. [5] [6]

Contents

Jacob Spores was an early settler of the Coburg area, who started the first ferry across the McKenzie River at the site. [5] [7] The house was thought to be the oldest in Lane County. [5]
