Show Leslie Hodgson was born in Salt Lake City in 1879 and was the son of an architect. 41 He received his own architect's license in 1904. 42 He moved to Ogden in 1906 and his first major projects in the city were residences in what is now the Eccles Avenue Historic District (NRIS # 76001840), a National Register-listed historic district of mostly Prairie School style residences. 43 In 1920, Mr. Hodgson formed a partnership with Myrl A. McClenahan. 44 The most notable works that the partners produced include: the Egyptian Theatre, the Ogden Municipal Building, Ogden High School, the U.S. Forest Service Building, Ben Lomond Hotel, (aka The Ben Lomond Hotel), and the buildings of the Union Stockyard (Coliseum, Exchange Building, Sheep Barn). 45 Most of these are now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In short, much of the early appearance of Ogden may be attributed to the firm of Hodgson and McClenahan. McClenahan died in 1940, followed by Hodgson in 1947. 46 As a local example of Spanish Colonial Revival architectural style, a model of a large enclosed parking structure, a representation of modern ramp engineering, and being associated with the general history of automobile transportation and commerce in Ogden, Utah, the Ben Lomond Hotel Garage is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Developmental history/additional historic context information (if appropriate) N/A 9.
