The house sits on a stone and concrete foundation with an asphaltshingled roof. The house retains many of its original Victorian Eclectic details such as the lathe-turned posts and scroll-cut fan brackets. The house faces west on a corner lot located at 8751 South 40 East in Sandy. 1 The house is in good condition and contributes to the historic resources of Sandy.2 The west elevation of the Hardcastle house features a projecting wing to the north and a porch to the south. The window in the wing has been enlarged from a two-over-two double-hung window to an eight-pane picture window (c. 1950). The octagonal attic vent was added to the gable (c. 1995). A c. 1995 rehabilitation of the house included painting the house white with dark green trim. Dark green paint is found on the cornices and window-door surrounds. On the porch, bands of green were applied to the posts and the fan brackets were repaired and painted green. The porch roof was rebuilt at the same. The porch deck is wooden. Beneath the porch is a parlor door on the projecting wing and the front entrance which is flanked by a pair of two-over-two double-hung windows with wood lintels and sills. Similar windows are found on the other elevations as well. Both doors have hopper windows. The south elevation features an original or very early lean-to attached to the main house. Two c. 1950s windows have been added to the south elevation: a six-pane picture window, and a smallerwindow in the lean-to which replaced an earlier double-hung window. The north elevation is relatively plain with two double-hung windows, one is an aluminum replacement. The rear of the house has a c. 1950 addition to the north and a c. 1970 carport to the south. The addition is painted white with clapboard siding. It has a simple gable roof set just slightly lower than the gable of the main house. The addition has a back door and two windows. The carport has a flat roof which extends from the rear of the lean-to. It is supported on simple square posts, and is partially enclosed with a half-height wall. A second back door leads from the house to the carport. On the interior, the house has 990 square feet of space in five main rooms. During a 1950s remodeling, closets were added to the rear bedroom and other areas were updated. The parlor door is boarded up on the inside. There is no cellar and the attic space is minimal. Until about 1949, there was,a substantial summer kitchen just behind the house on the property. It was probably demolished when the interior was remodeled and the addition built. The only outbuilding currently on the property is a c. 1995 cinder-block double garage on the north side. A wood fence connecting the house to the garage was also built c. 1995. There is also a gravel driveway from the rear of the property leading to 1 ln 1986, Sandy changed its address system in its historic district to conform with the Salt Lake County system. The original address of the house was 83 South 400 West. 2Some information provided by Debra J. Michel's' Intensive Level Survey of the Orlando H.
