Raymond Driver House is sited on a tract of land approximately six miles northwest of Medford and two miles west of Central Point, Oregon. The property lies north of Old Stage Road along the western boundary of the Bear Creek Valley and overlooks Lower and Upper Table Rocks, the valley expanse and the. the Cascade range to the north and east. Designed by architect Frank C. Clark, the Period Colonial style main residence and guest house retain their ' original relationship to the land­ scape and their integrity of location, design, setting, mater­ ials, workmanship, and feeling. The resource effectively con­ veys its associations with the intense development of Medford, Oregon and its surrounding rural area between 1925 and 1930, the property's years of primary historical significance. Located in Township 37 South, Range 2 West, Section 5, (Tax Lot 201,) the E. Raymond Driver House stands, on gently sloping land along Old Stage Road between Jacksonville and Gold Hill, approx­ imately one-quarter mile north of the intersection of Taylor Road. The Hopkins Canal, westernmost Medford Irrigation Dist­ rict ditch, forms part of the northern boundary of the nominated approximate 5.5. acre area. The detatched main residence faces Old Stage Road and wooded hillsides on the southwest. The house, which is set back approximately 80 feet from the main road is reached by a circular drive. A mature landscape of specimen and native plant materials partially screens the resi­ dence from the street. The guest house lies approximately fifty feet east of the house. A pool house, pump house, and barn, while not historic, are compatible with the ensemble components. The two-story Driver House exhibits several characteristics of the style, including symmetrical composition, small-paned rec­ tangular windows with shutters, fanlights, side lights with tran­ soms, and pilasters. An informal expression, appropriate for the country house, is enhanced by the use of shingle siding, windows of varying size and placement, and one and two-story end additions. Rectangular in plan, the house measures 87 by 34 feet and rests on a concrete foundation. The house, including main volume and end additions, is sheathed in regular-cut wood shingles and covered by a gable roof. The wood shingled roof was re-covered in metal, ( now heavily oxi­ dized) about 1950. This forty-year old roof constitutes the sole alteration to the building's exterior. A brick exterior chimney rises on the nor'th elevation, and a brick interior chimney breaks through the end addition roof on the south elevation. NP« Perm 1MOO« MM *pwtf MA I0t+001l United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number 7 Page 2 The facade and south elevation is distinguished by a recessed entrance framed by pilasters carrying a 'simple entablature. The six-paneled entry door with architrave molding is flanked by leaded glass sidelights and topped by an elliptical leaded glass transom. The wood doors of the attached garage on the facade's south end reflect the transom's elliptical line. A small oval window is placed in the lower wall north of the main entrance. The primary entry door on the rear elevation is framed by a shallow pilastered surround with entablature, multi-light side­ lights and decorative fluted trim. Eave overhangs are distinguished by boxed cornices, fretwork bed molding and re­ turns. Wood shutters flank windows on both stories on the front and rear elevations. A terrace, constructed of wood, extends across the length of the house's main volume at the rear. Window trim on the facade has a simple raised edge; windows on the rear elevation's lower story have cornices. Fenestration is more or less regular throughout. Six-over-one- light, double hung sash windows are typical. The house's main volume facade contains four pair of windows in the common pat­ tern, as does the end additon facade. One pair of four-over- one light, double hung sash windows exists on the .facade. Variations in the window pattern include one small three-over- three fixed window, and two three-over-one fixed windows flank­ ing a plate window on the rear elevation. The north elevation's shallow end addition contains a two- segment fan light flanking the brick chimney as well as windows in the common pattern. The north elevation gable end of the house's main volume contains a small window with a semi-circular top, keystone and tracery. The south elevation gable end contains a divided fan light in two segments beside the interior chimney, and a single fanlight in the end addition. The rear elevation contains two multi-light French doors, a two- paneled nine-light single door, and a center door with ten-light sidelights. The east elevation second story has ten windows in the common pattern -- three pairs, one set of three, and one small window. The garage's rear elevation reveals a six-over-one light common style window and a wood paneled door. NM Form 104004 QftM AppfWtl Mo. fOM40fl (v^U/ United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number 7 Page 3 Exterior alteration to the Driver House is confined to re-covering of the original wood roof about '1950. Despite this change, the integrity of the residence's associations with its historic themes of community development, commerce and architect-, ure remain intact. The resource is a significant example of its type, period and method of construction. The interior spatial arrangement of the house retains its origi­ nal configuration. First floor rooms include the hall, living room, dining room, study, pantry, kitchen, breakfast room, and service area. (Please see enclosed original plans of the Driver House.) Floors are constructed of hardwood. Original heating registers, enclosed in wood grillwork, door and cabinet hardware and lighting fixtures/ remain intact throughout the residence. Cove moulding of pronounced scale joins walls and ceilings. The central hall contains the recessed entry with paneled front door, leaded glass sidelights and transom. A two-flight stair with a landing rises from the hall to the second floor. The stair has slender tapering, painted balusters, a molded wood handrail and decorative newel post composed of grouped balusters. The stair treads and handrail are unpainted, polished wood.

It was only a few short years ago that my duties as a College instructor took several hours of my life each day. This was long enough in the past, that some of my grandchildren have no knowledge about it. Grandma said I ought to write an autobiography so our children and grandchildren would know more about us. Our children have inherited, for better or worse, many of our physical characteristics. Our grandchildren have received one-half of these characteristics from us.
