Show OMB No. 1024-0018, NFS Form United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section No. 7 Page 5 Salt Lake Engineering Works/Bogue Supply Company Building Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County, UT Narrative Description The Salt Lake Engineering Works/Bogue Supply Company Building is a shop-warehouse built of brick and steel circa 1904. The building and a later addition comprise an L-shaped structure. The structure has a simple gable roof and brick walls on a stone foundation. The structure is supported on a framework of standard steel sections. In 1942 an addition was made to the southwest corner. The addition consists of an iron/steel frame, half-height cinder block walls, and corrugated metal sheathing. The building is part of a complex of foundries and shops located at the corner of 700 West and 400 South. The complex was divided into two separate parcels in 1952, and the shop-warehouse shares a common wall with a foundry building to the east on the other parcel. The words "Bogue Supply Company" are still visible on the north elevation, and the building is commonly known as the Bogue building. A rehabilitation of the building was completed in June 2002 as a federal tax credit project. The Bogue building has been adapted for use as office space for an architectural firm. The Bogue building was most likely constructed sometime between 1904 and 1907, the two dates listed in the Salt Lake County tax records. It was built adjoining a 1902 foundry building to the east. The foundry is also extant, but has been altered on the north and east elevations. The foundry is typical of the period. It is constructed of heavy timbers and brick masonry. Two other major buildings on the site were similar in construction: a second foundry building (at the corner of 700 West and Pacific Avenue; built in 1903 and demolished in the early 1930s?), and a pattern shop (built in 1904 or 1905, and extant at 412 South 700 West). The extant foundry and the pattern shop buildings were connected by a third structure in the 1960s, and the property has been separate from the Bogue Building since 1952. The Bogue building, a warehouse-shop, is a long rectangular building measuring 64 feet x 189 feet. The foundation is stone, though it was later encapsulated in concrete, probably during the 1941-1942 remodeling and addition. The brick is commercial grade and laid in American common bond with headers at every seventh course. Stylistically the warehouse-shop mimics the commercial-style architecture of the foundry: brick corbelling at the cornice line, rowlock brick accenting the sills and the relieving arches, projecting masonry pilasters, etc. On the east and west ends the brick parapet is stepped. The rehabilitation included cleaning of the exterior brick as well repair work and re-pointing. The roofline of the warehouse is higher than the foundry, and is a simple gable with a monitor roof along the ridgeline. A 1912 interior photograph of the Bogue building shows light coming through the monitor, probably through skylights, louvers or a combination of both. The photograph also shows a series of multiple-pane warehouse skylights along the south slope of the roof. The roofing material has changed several times through the years. The original material is unknown. In the 1930s, the wood deck was covered with built-up (rolled) asphalt. The roof skylights may have been removed at that time or later, when a corrugated metal roof was installed probably in the 1970s. The monitor roof was covered (top and sides) with metal in the 1970s. The corrugated metal roof was recently removed and the roof deck repaired with plywood over the original boards. A new metal roof, similar to the old, was installed during the 2002 rehabilitation. |
