Both buildings were extensively altered in the 20th century, with University Hall's interior entirely gutted in 1914.[3] The exteriors, in particular wooden trim elements, suffered due to Oregon's coastal climate. They were both given historically sensitive restoration in the mid-1990s, a process in which students were given the opportunity to participate through classes organized for the purpose.[4]
