Show OMB No. 1024-0018 NPS Form 10-900-a (8-86) Utah WordPerfect Format United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section number 7 Page 2 VanFleet Hotel, Farmington, Davls County, Utah enlarging the interior, a great deal of attention was paid to the exterior space. Covered porches with cobblestone columns were added on all four sides of the building. These columns tie visually with cobblestone piers that were extended from the structure and placed on at least three sides of the property's perimeter. This design principle allowed the architecture and landscape to blend into each other. During much of the historic period the yard was a lush garden which incorporated fountains, rock lined planters, elevated masonry planters,and an extensive rose garden. In 1953 a second story was added above the original south porch (sun porch). At this time the building was divided into 8 separate apartments and remained as such until 1976 when the building was converted into office space. None of the original outbuildings associated with the property remain today. A cobblestone carriage house, designed to be integral with the other cobblestone elements on the property, was located on the southeast corner of the property. It was demolished in 1976 for parking space. |
