Plaque commemorating the Patterson House on E. 11th Ave. in Eugene, Oregon, used for filming National Lampoon's Animal House. The text reads:

Site of the home of A. W. and Amanda Patterson. He was a pioneer Lane County doctor and surveyor who plotted a greater part of Eugene. In 1853, Patterson was also a member of the Oregon legislature and was instrumental in establishing the University of Oregon

Amanda Patterson came across the Great Plains in the first wagon train of 1843. Their daughter, Ida, was a Eugene school principal.

In the 1950's and 1960's the house was used by a fraternity and popularized in the 1970's by the film "Animal House."
