Geary School, 4th and Madison

Named for Dr. Edward Geary, an early Eugene educator, the Geary School built circa 1890 stood on the Northwest corner of 4th and Madison until about 1950 when it was torn down after later serving as The Eugene Vocational School. One of the largest school buildings in Eugene at the time, it stood two stories over a full basement with a large attic gymnasium and a prominent bell tower. The building with it's tasteful Victorian ornamentation was particularly attractive. The property, still owned by the 4J school district houses offices and maintenance buildings.
