Show 0MB 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 7 Salt Lake Engineering Works/Bogue Supply Company Building Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County, UT reuse of the interior includes offices, cubicles, conference rooms, and toilet partitions although the central space remains open. A carpeted sub-floor provides space for the electrical wiring and cable systems. Some sheetrock (painted white) finish work has been done on the walls, however the building retains its warehouse feeling and most of the steel framework has been left exposed. The 1942 addition has 4,500 square feet of interior space. The north wall, which abuts the 1904 building, has had several modifications to its window and doors. The remaining walls are half-height cinder block walls with metal sheathing. The multi-light warehouse windows are in a metal sash. The addition is supported on a series of beams, columns and triangular trusses. Though this structure was built nearly forty years after its predecessor the structural framework is much heavier and in a combination of iron and steel. As noted above, the addition will be used for storage, as well as the reception area, and has been more extensively altered than the warehouse. One staircase, the elevator and the mechanical rooms will also be located in the addition. The site is a 0.87-acre L-shaped parcel. The Bogue building abuts the property lines on the north, and the northeast and southwest corners. A chain link fence currently surrounds the property. The only open land is to the south. The reuse of the property includes an entrance on Pacific Avenue and landscaped parking. An entrance plaza is directly east of the 1942 addition. The plaza features concrete paving, grass, newly planted trees, and the Whiting Crane installation. In addition to the associated buildings noted above, there are several mid-twentieth century warehouses in the immediate neighborhood. The neighborhood is part of an island of development between the rail lines to the east, and Interstate 15 to the west. Nineteenth-century warehouses are found to the north and west of the Bogue building. Two nineteenth-century Victorian cottages near the Bogue building survived the obliteration of the residential neighborhood, which began with the late 1950s construction of 1-15 and was completed with the interstate's 1999 expansion project. The Salt Lake Engineering Works/Bogue Supply Company Building is remarkably well-preserved and is a contributing resource in one of Salt Lake's industrial west side neighborhoods. |
