Description: The fashionable house completed for wealthy Portland broker A. H. Maegly in Arlington Heights overlooking downtown Portland in 1915 is the foremost example of Oregon architecture clearly influenced by the Prairie School — Frank Lloyd Wright and his followers. It was designed by John V. Bennes, who received his early training in Illinois and whose admiration for the Prairie School architects was well known. With its tile roofs and ornament taken from the Italian Renaissance, Bennes 1 design is Mediterranean in spirit, but its slab-like roof overhangs, the Wrightian decorative brackets, the cantilevered second story bays, and the strong horizontal emphasis created by ribbon windows and tile string course and frieze are stylistic characteristics of Prairie School architecture.

Description: Strand Agricultural Hall was built in three parts. The Agronomy Building, now the northern wing, was constructed in 1909. The center building, then known as the Agriculture Building, was built in 1911. The south wing was called the Horticulture Building, and it was completed in 1913. At the time of completion in 1913, Strand Agricultural Hall was the largest building at Oregon State University. The complex stood at the center of campus and housed a variety of academic departments and laboratory space. The building was renamed in 1983 after August Strand, president of the university from 1942 to 1961. Though campus officials considered razing the building to make space for a new Liberal Arts building in the early 1980s, it is standing today. Strand Agricultural Hall is still central to OSU, both physically and in meeting the needs of the university.
