Show NPS Form 10-900-a Utah WordPerfect 5.1 Format (Revised Feb. 1993) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section NO. 7 Page 2 Crook, Heber & Matilda, House and Lake Creek Schoolhouse, Heber City, Wasatch County, UT An addition on the rear elevation consists of a one-story sunroom that runs from the southwest end of the porch, along the length of the west elevation, and extending north for a distance of approximately 10'. At this point the rear addition connects to a new one-and-one-half story garage with a family room on the upper level. Its walls are covered with the stone that remains from the original stone barn.4 The garage is positioned approximately 28 feet back from the front of the original house, is connected with a soft link to the sunroom addition, and has a lower roof line with a shallower pitch. These components work to demarcate the new addition from the historic house. While it is a relatively large structure, it does not substantially alter the house's historic qualities. The central-block-with-projecting bays house plan maintains its original first floor room arrangement with parlor, living, and kitchen areas. An interior wall on the first floor contains original pocket doors. The staircase, although rebuilt, is in approximately the same location as the original stairway. The interior was altered in the 1980s when new plumbing, electrical, and mechanical upgrades occurred, and the second floor room arrangement was changed. The property retains its rural character and the house and cabin retain their historic integrity. The property contributes to the historic feeling and association of the Heber Valley.
