IOOF Building (Ashland, Oregon)

IOOF Building (Ashland, Oregon) is a engineering topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand IOOF Building (Ashland, Oregon) rather than just read about it. In short: The IOOF Building in Ashland, Oregon, also known as Oddfellows Building, is a two-story eclectic-styled building in "The Plaza" area of Ashland that was built in 1879. Historically its second story served as a clubhouse of the local International Order of Odd Fellows chapter and the ground floor provided specialty store space.

Reference excerpt

The IOOF Building in Ashland, Oregon, also known as Oddfellows Building, is a two-story eclectic-styled building in "The Plaza" area of Ashland that was built in 1879. Historically its second story served as a clubhouse of the local International Order of Odd Fellows chapter and the ground floor provided specialty store space. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, for its architecture. From its construction to 1978, the building had served well in the active "Plaza" area of Medford, and continued in its original purposes. Behind the building, by 1978 there was a landscaped park area which had been extended from nearby Lithia Park, where there was once a mill flume.

History The IOOF Building was built by Jacob, Fox, Guerin, a local builder. The building replaced one that was destroyed in a fire on March 4, 1879. It was individually listed on the National Register in 1978. It was included again on the National Register in 2000 as a contributing building in the Ashland Downtown Historic District.

Description

The main portion of the building is 60 feet (18 m) by 65 feet (20 m) by 35 feet (11 m). Upstairs about 32 feet (9.8 m) by 60 feet (18 m) was reserved for use by the Oddfellows, and there is a large kitchen and other rooms. The downstairs area is divided into three units and was intended for, and is still used for, retail space. While lower portions of the front façade have been remodeled (including covering bricks by stucco), the upper portion was mostly unchanged from the original, as of 1978, besides having been painted. It had four-over-four lights/windows and has parapets above, with finials that were added at some date after original construction. Photos from c.1890, 1976, and 2011 show upper windows substantially the same; both upper and lower sashes were moveable as of 1978. The sides and rear of the building remained unpainted. Two extensions to the rear had been added. In the lower portion, there originally was an arch (perhaps over the door?) which had a glass spandrel area, which has been filled, and the windows have been changed.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with IOOF Building (Ashland, Oregon)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what IOOF Building (Ashland, Oregon) claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to IOOF Building (Ashland, Oregon) before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about IOOF Building (Ashland, Oregon) ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of IOOF Building (Ashland, Oregon)

In research: IOOF Building (Ashland, Oregon) appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses IOOF Building (Ashland, Oregon) in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: IOOF Building (Ashland, Oregon) is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1879 establishments in Oregon, Buildings and structures completed in 1879, Buildings and structures in Ashland, Oregon, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for IOOF Building (Ashland, Oregon) outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
