The 'bottom 1 or south-facing side of each extension of the upper part of the 'T' is 10.0 feet long (3.04 meters). The east- and west-facing sides of the upper part of the 'T' are 28.5 feet long (8.69 meters). Despite the overall symmetry in dimensions and appearances, there are slight differences between the east and west sides of the building, so the east and west sides are described separately. The east side of the main 'stem' portion of Star Hall contains four windows and one door which currently look out on the historic Moab IDS Church meetinghouse (listed on the National Register; now a Daughters of Utah Pioneers facility), a modern tennis court and school building. Originally, the east side faced onto poplar trees and the church. Located to the north of the four east side windows is an arched entrance. The door in this east entrance is paneled wood with a fan-light window above and leads into the main room just south of the stage. (Instead of a door at this location, the west side contains another window.) The south-facing (or Center Street-facing) side of the east the 'T 1 contains a single, central arched window. A single centered in the gabled roof above this south-facing window. of this portion of the 'T 1 are two more arched windows, and leads to the basement. portion of the top of brick chimney is On the east-facing side a single door which The rear of the structure has been somewhat obscured by the addition of a concrete pad containing the air conditioner on the east side, and a low, one-story, concrete block storage room on the west. These c. 1971 additions abut the original walls of Star Hall. From the rear of the building a second brick chimney is visible. (At least one historic chimney, located on the south end of the west side, has been removed.) The rear elevation was probably configured with a centrally-located pair of doors and two evenly spaced windows to each side. (See photo #2.) The west-facing side of the 'stem 1 has five arched windows identical in construction and placement to those on the front and east sides of the structure. The west side windows look out on the Grand County Courthouse. (This 1937 brick, PWA Moderne style building is potentially NR-eligible.) Originally the south-facing extension of the top of the 'T 1 contained another arched window, identical to the arrangement on the east side, but as part of the 1968 remodel, this window was converted into an arched door to provide access to the west wing of the stage. Below the door, nine concrete steps have been added on a stone base. This base does not alter the integrity of the building since it is constructed of the same local rock-faced ashlar sandstone blocks as the original construction stones. The mortar in this additional base, while cement, matches the original mortar in color.The west-facing end of the 'T 1 has two arched windows, but unlike the east side, no door is present north of the windows on the west side of the 'T 1 . Another fan-light window is centered in the gable above the west windows. X See continuation sheet |
