The Jacob C. Spores House was a house located between south of Coburg and north of Eugene, Oregon,[2] formerly listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was removed from the register on August 1, 2001.[3] The classical revival house underwent an "exceptional" restoration in 1975, but a September 1996 fire "destroyed most, if not all, of the historical value of the house".[2][4] By 1998 the owners were again restoring the house, but according to the Oregon State Historic Preservation office, as of 2013 the house has been demolished.[5][6]
Jacob Spores was an early settler of the Coburg area, who started the first ferry across the McKenzie River at the site.[5][7] The house was thought to be the oldest in Lane County.[5]
