Collier House (University of Oregon)

North facade of Collier House

Collier House is a historic building located in Eugene, Oregon, United States. It was built in 1886[1] by George Collier and his two sons[2] to his own design.[1] It was originally built as the home of the University of Oregon physics professor and was sold to the University in 1893, when it joined Deady and Villard halls as the third building on the fledgling campus.

Over the years the Italianate building has served as a dormitory, the university president's residence, the school's library, the faculty club, offices, a meeting space,[1] and a restaurant and pub. The building now sits vacant.
