Mims House, Gothic Revival house in East Skinner Butte Historic District, Eugene, United States.
The white wooden residence features steep gables, pointed arch windows, and a cross-gable roof design, exemplifying Gothic Revival architecture from 1867.
Built during Eugene's early settlement period, this home gained recognition when C.B. and Annie Mims became its owners in 1948 as Black homeowners.
Between 1948 and 1966, the property provided lodging for Black travelers, including musicians Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, and Louis Armstrong.
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People manages the property, which functions as a community center at 44.0652 latitude, -123.0885 longitude.
A millstone from the original Eugene Mill, which burned in 1894, remains in the yard and served as a doorstep for the residence.
