Franklin Blvd. from Hendricks Park 1927

This panorama of East Eugene featuring Franklin Blvd. appears to have been taken from the Hendrick's Park vicinity. There is virtually nothing familiar in this shot until you look to the left of the near smokestack and see the roof of Villard Hall on the University of Oregon campus. The Eugene Hotel and the Minor Building loom in the distance along with Skinners Butte to the right. The open area in the foreground is approximately where Joe Romania Chevrolet was to locate years later with is distinctive "Fish Bowel" Showroom. Most of what you see in this shot was replaced in the 1950's and 60's with restaurants and Motels to accommodate travelers from the newly completed Interstate I-5.
