Starr House, 6th and Lawrence

Still standing today on the Northeast corner of 6th and Lawrence, the Starr house was built circa 1890 by J. Fletcher Starr, co owner of Starr & Griffin Hardware which stood near 8th and Willamette. Housing Cosa Tol Tec, a Mexican restaurant for many years the house now partially restored is home to a software company. The porch shown in this photo from the 1950's is probably a replacement of the original from a circa 1910 remodel.

  1. I just came across your blog while surfing the next hoping to find photos of old relatives. Jake Stark ran some hotels in Eugene,Independence,Cottage Grove,&Baker City back in the early 1900s. Always hoping to find more on him & wife Georgia. They lived at a hotel at 543 5th Ave W in Eugene. Do you know which hotel that might have been?
