It's hard to miss the gleaming statue of a lumberjack crowning the regal Oregon State Capitol. The bronze statue, with a gold-leaf finish was installed in 1938 as part of the newly built capitol building. Sculpted by artist Ulric Ellerhusen, the massive 22 feet (7 meters) statue faced some degree of resistance when it was installed, but is now a proud part of the building, with the city having gilded it in gold four times since its inception.
The Waller Hall is a historic structure built between 1864 and 1867. Located on the campus of Willamette University, the hall has been constructed in the Renaissance style of architecture. The beautiful red brick structure is the oldest on campus and has undergone several restorations in the past. Today it is used by the administrative offices of the university. Owing to its historic importance, the hall became a part of the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
