Where do you live? Looks like a pretty common house spider to me.

Oregon. The thing that was unique about it to me was the head, the way the "mandibles" are folded up into it, and how big it's "eye part" is. Though I'm not really sure if that's just a result of it getting smashed a bit or not.

No idea, I don't know much about spiders. The picture you posted just reminded me of the kind of house spider we see around here (Belgium) pretty often during the Fall.
