Show OMB No. 1024-0018, NPS Form United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section No. 7 Page 2 Bigelow Apartments, Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County, UT interior doors have been replaced. Before the rehabilitation, the condition of the apartments ranged from poor to fair. The rehabilitation work included repairing all interior surfaces and installing new fixtures, cabinets, and tile, in the kitchens and bathrooms. The building has new finishes throughout. The radiators were refurbished and are functioning. The stairwells are painted tan and mauve dividing by a yellow chair rail. The stair rails (also painted yellow) are wrought iron (probably from the 1950s or 1960s). Each apartment features a milk delivery door from the hall (now blocked). The building sits on a deep, narrow lot (46.5 feet by 330 feet). Most of the space is covered with asphalt for parking. A concrete wall along the north property line at the rear was once part of a covered parking structure (built in 1931 and demolished probably in the 1980s). The only landscaping is lawn in front with two trees in the parking strip and some overgrown vegetation near the north elevation of the building. There is a historic fire hydrant located near the west entrance to the Bigelow Apartments. The north property line is partially fenced with chain link. The south property line is a shared right of way with the Chapman Apartments and the Chapman Place Cottages. All three buildings are associated and part of the proposed rehabilitation. The Bigelow Apartments are located near downtown Salt Lake City in a mixed-use neighborhood. The area includes a number of contemporaneous apartment houses, pioneer and Victorian era homes, and both historic and non-historic commercial and institutional buildings. The Bigelow Apartments is eligible for the National Register within the Salt Lake City Urban Apartments Multiple Property Documentation. The building is a contributing resource in its Salt Lake City neighborhood. |
