Yet when the University of Oregon put its massive, timeworn Treetops mansion in Eugene up for sale, Cornog jumped at it. Why? Cornog, a very successful 60-year-old businessman, says he loves Eugene and Oregon, and can’t sit by as time wears down the vacant 8,000-square-foot 115-year-old Fairmount-area landmark. From the street, the super-sized craftsman-style Treetops looms impressive.
