Show 0MB 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 10 Payson Historic District, Payson, Utah County, UT the slant-roof house with a base of rock-faced Roman brick at 536 S. Main Street [Photograph 81]. Examples of commercial buildings constructed in this period include the Huish Theater at 95 W. Utah Avenue, built in 1949, and the modern storefront at 3-5 N. Main Street, built in 1953, replacing a two-story Victorian-era building [Photographs 82 & 83]. A number of storefront alterations in the commercial district occurred during this period. The Mill monument was installed in the park in 1950. Subdivision and Twentieth Century Development Period, 1961-2007 The out-of-period resources number 176 from the post historic period. The majority of these are residential, mostly single-family dwelling, but with a few multiple-family apartment blocks. Most of the recent residential construction has been moderate-sized infill housing, primarily one-story ranch houses, which do not detract from the character of the nearby historic residences (e.g. 140 W. 200 South, circa 1975) [Photograph 84]. Several over-sized outbuildings were constructed during this period, but since they are spread throughout the survey area and located mostly in the rear of the properties, they are considered minimally intrusive. The majority of out-of-period commercial buildings are located on the fringes of the commercial business district. The Main Street storefronts have undergone considerably changes in the past century, but most of the alterations do not adversely impact the character of the business district. There is currently an effort underway to return many historic storefronts to their original appearance. |
