The wall demarcates the southern property line along 700 North through which the south entrance to the campus leads to the amphitheater and complex. The amphitheater is approximately 100 yards north of the wall and is banked into a hillside landscaped with evergreens and shrubs. Between the amphitheater and the wall is an open lawn space bordered with trees and shrubs. The Training School is located on a bench at the northeast corner of the city, with farmland to the north and east, a golf course and river bottom to the west, and residences to the south. The wall is constructed of sandstone, quartzite, and shale. The wall is l,f35 ' long and ends 50 ' south of 900 East Street. From this point a wooden rail fence extends to the street. The rock wa 11 ranges in height at various points from 7' 9" to 3' 3" and is 1'6 " thick. Concrete has been used for reinforcement at the base of the wall between 233 ' and 375 ' (using the western end as a beginning). Heavy square stone pillars with pyramidal caps are located at approximately 33 ' intervals. The top of this wall is steeply sloped and forms a peak. The wall opens to a driveway that is 59 ' wide 749 ' from the west end. The driveway walls curve symmetrically to the inside for a distance of 16 ' 5" and end with concrete posts approximately 2' square. The driveway curves northwest past the amphitheater where one can turn east to encircle the amphitheater and surrounding grounds, returning to the entrance, or continue north to the main campus. The wall begins about 5; below grade and changes after several hundred feet as it follows the grade up the hill. In a few places the stone is spalling and needs to be repaired. Other than this it is in very good condition and has maintained a high degree of integrity. Amphitheater The amphitheater is approached from a curvilinear drive accessed from 700 North. It is banked into a steep slope and is surrounded by mature pine trees. At the back of the stage the conifers 'gradually end, the lawn is terraced, and the grass is bordered by deciduous shrubs and bushes. When seated one has a view of Utah Lake and the Lake Mountains beyond. 1 Apparently this section of wood railing was built to replace an original stone section that was removed to allow for better visibility and safety. ~ See continuation sheet OMS No. 10024-0018 NPS Form 10'900-a Utah WordPerfec15.1 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_ Utah State Training School Amphitheater and \</3.11, American Fork, Utah County, UT Like the Recreation Center at the State Hospital in Provo (also listed on the National Register), the Training School amphitheater is constructed entirely of stone, including the aisles and seats. The Training School seats are 1'6" high with a depth of 2'6", rising up the slope at a 30 degree angle in 12 tiers. There are four aisles between the seats--two at the end and two equidistant from the center. An aisle at the top of the amphitheater separates the seating from a 3'10" stone wall; openings in the wall correspond to the aisles between the seats. At either end of the amphitheater, flanking a concrete stage that is elevated 2', are one-story buildings measuring 14'9" by 21'3". These appear to have served as dressing rooms or ticket sales. Three window openings (now boarded) with stone sills face the stage. The tops of the rooms serve as terraces and can be accessed by a short flight of stairs from both the upper aisle of the amphitheater and the walk surrounding it. The metal handrails and terrace railings are probably not of the historic period. No major alterations have been made to the amphitheater. It is in need of some repair, but it is still very much in keeping with its original appearance.

American Fork. Utah County. UT Narrative Statement of Significance Constructed between 1936-37 r the Utah State Training School amphitheater and the rock wall are significant because they help document the impact of New Deal Programs in Utah, which was one of the states that the Great Depression of the 1930s most severely affected. In 1933 Utah had an unemployment rate of 36 percent, the fourth highest in the country, and for the period 1932-40 Utah's unemployment rate averaged 25 percent. Because the depression hit Utah so hard, Federal programs were extensive in the state. Overall, per capital Federal spending in Utah during the 1930s was ninth among the forty-eight states, and the percentage of workers on Federal work projects was far above the national average. Building programs were of great importance. During the 1930s virtually every public building constructed in Utah was built under Federal programs. Almost without exception none of the buildings would have been constructed when they were without the assistance of the Federal Government. More than 240 buildings were constructed in Utah during the 1930s and early 1940s under the Works Progress Administration (WPA) and other New Deal programs. Approximately half of those buildings meet National Register eligibility requirements outlined in the 1985 thematic nomination of Public Works Buildings in Utah. The amphitheater is b~ing nominated as a part of the Public Works Buildings Thematic Resources nomination.The amphitheater and rock wall meet National Register Criterion A in the area of social history as examples of the impact of the W.P.A. in American Fork in providing community amenities for landscape beautification and recreation, and in Utah as part of a state facility. American Fork is located in the northern half of Utah County. Its advantageous location near two of the state's population centers, Provo and Salt Lake City, made it a strong contender for consideration as the location for the State Training School. In 1929 officials of the State Building Committee visited several communities, including Spanish Fork and West Jordan, and despite concerns about the availability of enough water for culinary purposes, chose a site in the northeast quadrant of the town known as "Featherstone Hill". Once the city reached an agreement with the American Fork Irrigation Board and Utah Power and Light to exchange water rights and rebuild the water system, the location of the new institution was assured. Scott and Welch, a prominent Salt Lake City architectural firm that received many commissions throughout Utah for educational structures, was chosen to design the buildings. The $180,000 contract for construction was awarded to Jacobson Construction of Provo in 1930. The initial building campaign designed by Scott & Welch consisted of a service building, two brick dormitories, facilities for laundry and a boiler, and one farm dormitory. The purpose of the school, as stated in the first biennium report was to: ~ See continuation sheet OM8 No. 10024-0018 NPS Form 10-900-a lJ1ah WordPerfect 5.1 Formal (RevIsed Feb. 1993) United States OepartJrent of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section No . .JL Page.....i..- Utah State Training School Amphitheater and Wall, American Fork, Utah County, UT ... detect or discover the mentally deficient while young and adaptable, to take and train them in accordance with their mental abilities, and when so trained and socialized, and then sterilized, to return them to their respective communities, where, under proper supervision, they may function as normally as possible and be assets rather than liabilities. Under this plan they will 2 not be permitted to reproduce their kind, as further public charges. The school opened on October 5, 1931. Every biennial report states that the population grew rapidly, from 158 in 1932 to 248 in 1934, and from 443 in 1936 to 594 in 1937. The school ran an extensive outpatient program to "identify the mentally deficient" and to guide parents in finding appropriate treatment outside the school. In 1936, 37 percent of those examined on an outpatient basis were admitted to the institution. This, coupled with the fact that many parents of the students were struggling financially and may have welcomed the chance to reduce their household size, created overcrowded conditions. W.P.A. money was used to construct a new girls' dormitory and an employee's building. In 1937 an application for $200,000 to erect additional structures, including a school building, a boys' dormitory, a farm dormitory, two socializing cottages, and a dairy barn was approved. The complex and many of these buildings were designed by the prominent Salt Lake City-based architectural firm of Scott &Welch. In general, the characteristics of this designed landscape, the layout of concrete paths, rows of trees, and the rock wall are significant character-defining features. Even though alterations and additions have compromised the integrity of the original layout, it is a unique and distinct grouping of buildings and features. The amphitheater and rock wall are two of thirteen structures (plus fifteen farm structures) ~n the site that are considered eligible for National Register designation. Their proximity to one another, stone construction, and geographic separation from the upper part of the campus provide a cohesiveness and distinctive quality, constituting an appropriate setting for being nominated together, apart from the entire campus. The first mention of the amphitheater in the local newspaper occurred on September 27, 1935. The article states that two proposals totalling $50,000 were submitted to the W.P . A. board for landscaping the grounds and building the amphitheater. The funding was reduced to $18,000 when the request was approved in January 1936. Bids for the amphitheater and the wall were included as part of a project to install a powerful new boiler. Six months later the newspaper reported that: 2 Second Biennial Report to the Board of Trustees, Utah State Training School, American Fork, Utah , June 30, 1934, p.l. 3 Roper, Roger.

The project calls for the building of a rock fence around the south part of the grounds, landscaping the south hill, lawns, shrubbery and tr~es and the building of an amphithe~ter in the cove to the east of the school grounds and the boiler. By December 1937 the amphitheater was almost finished, but no mention was made jn the newspaper concerning the completion of either the amphitheater or the wall. Federally-funded public works construction at the Training School was substantial, but American Fork benefitted from many other W.P.A. projects as well. These included extensive sidewalk and road repair, park improvements, an addition to the junior high school, a new kitchen for the elementary school, and the construction of several buildings including a similar wall and an amphitheater at the American Fork cemetery. In Utah County alone thirty-seven buildings were erected through the W.P.A. and other New Deal programs. Six of those are listed on the National Register and the Training School amphitheater is being added to this list of Public Works Buildings Thematic Resource nomination. The wall is similar to the one constructed around the American Fork cemetery by the W.P.A. They are both of stone construction, however, the cemetery wall has concrete caps along the top of the wall, and pyramidal concrete caps on top of the heavy stone pillars. It is an identifying characteristic of the Training School and provides a distinct visual boundary for the facility. The amphitheater is one of several constructed throughout the state during the 1930s. Other amphitheaters were built in Utah through New Deal funding, including those at the University of Utah and Utah State University campuses, the State Hospital in Provo, Theater-in-the-Pines at Aspen Grove (Provo Canyon), Mutual Dell in American Fork Canyon, and several smaller amphitheaters at campgr9unds and recreational areas on Forest Service and National Park Service land. Four were constructed in Utah County, including two by the Civilian Conservation Corps (Theater-in-the-Pines and Mutual Dell) and two by the W.P.A. (the State Hospital and the Training School). The Training School amphitheater is a bit smaller in scale 4 Note: There is ~onsiderable school property to the west, but it has never been developed; the school campus is actually due north. 5 "Bids Asked on School Improvement", American Fork Citizen, July 31, 1936, p.1. 6 "Growth Marks Year at the Utah State Training School", American Fork Citizen, December 24, 1937, p.1. 7 These include Maple Grove and the Great Basin Experimental Station (Ephraim Canyon), Sanpete County; Oak Creek Campground and Adelaide Campground, Millard County; Zions National Park (listed on the National Register).

Both the amphitheater and rock wall provide physical evidence of federal efforts and local participation to alleviate the social problems created by the financial devastation of the Depression. The wall continues to contribute to the park-like setting of the campus and is an attractive landscape feature for the community. The amphitheater remains an important feature in Utah and continues in use for both Training School and community-wide programs. See continuation sheet .'

This is nn a,sembly hall and contains some classrooms, the auditol'iulll having a seating capa- ' city of about two thousand. The architects for this are Anderson and Young of Salt L ake City. The Pyro-)[etalllll'gical Laboratory, for which an >tPPI'oprintion of $10,000 was made, is completed an(\ is in its second month of successful operation.

Hickman, high school prin.. , The State Training School Another school that has become a valuable asset to our community, furnishing employment to many of our people is the Utah State Training School. To take care of the large number of defective and mentally retarded children and adults in the State, and to give them the proper training, guidance and protection that some of them may become measurably self;sustaining, the 1929 State Legislature enacted a law providing for the establishment of the Utah State Training School. Largely through the efforts of a committee from , the American Fork Lion's Club, with Dr. Guy B. Richards as Chairman, options were taken on several tracts of land with water rights on the bench northeast of town, and the State was induced to locate the Training School at American Fork. The first building appropriation ' of $300,000 was used for the purchase of approximately 400 acres of land, for culinary and irrigation water rights, and to construct the first group of five major buildings. The school was opened in the fall of 1931, with Dr. H. H. Ramsay, an experienced gentleman from the State of Mississippi, as superintendent. Since that time the plant has grown to include about 650 acres of farm land and seventeen major buildings, involving a total investment of approximately $800,000. There are now (1941) 86 full time employees, and 659 children and adults in the institution with an enrollment of 919-some of the pupils being temporarily in their homes or out on regular employment. There is, according to Assistant Superintendent Mark K. Allen, an apparent need for further expansion. According to the best available estimates, thete are at least one thousand mentally defective children OMS No. 1024-<101' United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Registration Form This form is for use in nominating or requesting determinations of eligibility for individual properties or districts.

Utah State Training School Amphitheater and Wall National Register Nomination Section 7: description The amphitheater and stone wall were constructed as Works Progress Administration projects during the 1930's, providing recreational and landscaping amenities for both the Utah State Training School, an institution for the mentally retarded, and the community. The wall demarcates the southern property line along 700 North and the amphitheater is banked into a hillside and surrounded by open space southeast of all the school buildings. The Training School is north of a residential area of single-family homes; to the east is an empty field. lYa!! Like the amphitheater, the wall is constructed of sandstone, quartzite and shale. The wall is 1,235' long and ends 50' south of 900 East Street. From this point a wooden rail fence extends to the street. The rock wall ranges in height at various points from 7'9" to 3'3" and is 1'6" thick. At the foot of the wall concrete has been used for reinforcement at 233' to 375' (using the western end as a beginning). The wall is broken up by square posts, also made of stone, with a pyramidal cap at approximately 33' intervals. Unlike the wall at the American Fork cemetery, which is flat and was also constructed by the W.P.A., the top of this wall is steeply sloped and forms a peak. After 749' the wall opens to a driveway of 59.' At each side of the driveway the wall curves symmetrically to the inside at a distance of 16'5,' ending with a concrete post about 2' square. Although the wall begins about 5' below grade this changes after several hundred feet as it follows the grade up the hill. In a few places the stone is spalling and needs to be repaired. Other than this it is in very good condition and has maintained a high degree of integrity. Amphitheater The amphitheater is approached from a curvilinear drive accessed from 700 North. It is banked into a steep slope and at the rear is surrounded by mature pine trees. At the end of the stage the lawn is landscaped into two terraces and gradually the conifers end and the grass is bordered by deciduous shrubs and bushes. When seated one has a view of Utah Lake and the Lake Mountains beyond. Unlike other amphitheaters in Utah County, such as Mutual Dell and Theater-in-the-Pines, the entire Training School amphitheater is constructed of stone, including the aisles and seats. The latter are 1'6" high with a depth of 2'6," rising up the slope at a 30 degree angle in 12 tiers. There are four aisles between the seats -- two at the end and two equidistant from the center. An aisle at the top of the amphitheater separates the seating from a 3'10" stone wall; openings in the wall correspond to the aisles between the seats. At either end of the amphitheater, flanking the concrete stage, are one-story buildings measuring 14'9" by 21'3," which appear to serve a purpose for dressing or selling tickets. Three window openings (now boarded) with stone sills face the stage. The tops of these rooms serve as terraces, and can be accessed by a short flight of stairs from both the upper aisle of the amphitheater and the walk surrounding it. The metal handrails and terrace railings are not of the historic period. The stage is elevated at a height of 2.' No major alterations have been made to the amphitheater. It is in need of some repair, but it is still very much in keeping with its original appearance . .~. Utah State Training School Amphitheater and Rock Wall National Register Nomination Section 8: history Constructed from 1936 to 1937 the Utah State Training School amphitheater, part of the Public Works Buildings Thematic Resources nomination, and the rock wall, are significant because they help document the impact of the New Deal programs in Utah. The Works Progress Administration, known as the W.P.A., was one of the many federal relief programs organized to lessen the hardship caused by extensive unemployment during the Great Depression. Because Utah had one of the highest unemployment rates in the nation during the 1930's, federal programs were extensive in the state, and Utah ranked ninth in per capita federal spending. Virtually every public building was constructed through federal largesse; many of these are already listed on the National Register and included in the Public Works Buildings Thematic Resources nomination of 1984. The amphitheater and rock wall meet National Register Criterion A in the area of social history as examples of the impact of the W.P.A. in American Fork by providing community amenities for landscape beautification and recreation. American Fork (1990 population 15,696), is located in the northern half of Utah County. Its advantageous location near two of the state's population centers, Provo and Salt Lake City, made it a strong contender for consideration as the location of the State Training School. In 1929 officials of the State Building Committee visited several communities, including Spanish Fork and West Jordan, and despite concerns about the availability of enough water for culinary purposes, chose a site in the northwest quadrant of the town known as "Featherstone Hill." Once the city reached an agreement with the American Fork Irrigation Board and Utah Power and Light to exchange water rights and rebuild the water system, the town's location for the new institution was assured. Scott and Welch, a prolific Salt Lake City architectural firm that received many commissions throughout Utah for educational structures, was chosen to design the buildings. The $180,000 contract for construction was awarded to Jacobson Construction of Provo in 1930. The initial building campaign consisted of a service building, two brick dormitories, facilities for laundry and a boiler, and one farm dormitory. The purpose of the school, as stated in the first biennium report, was to ... detect or discover the mentally deficient while young and adaptable, to take and train them in accordance with their mental abilities, and, when so trained and socialized, and then sterilized, to return them to their respective communities, where, under proper supervision, they may function as normally as possible and be assets rather than liabilties. Under this plan they will not be permitted to reproduce their kind, as further public charges. 1 The school opened on October 5, 1931, its population growing rapidly. Every biennial report states that the population consistently almost doubled, from 158 in 1932 to 248 in 1934, and from 443 in 1936 to 594 in 1937. The school ran an extensive outpatient program to "identify the mentally deficient" and to guide parents in finding appropropriate treatment outside the school. In 1936, 37 percent of those examined on an outpatient basis were admitted to the the institution; this, coupled with the fact that many parents of the students were struggling financially and welcomed the chance to reduce their household 1 Second Biennial Report to the Board of Trustees, Utah State Training School, American Fork, Utah, June 30, 1934, p. 1. size, created overcrowded conditions. W.P.A. money was used to construct a new girls' dormitory and an employee's building. In 1937, an application for $200,000 to erect additional structures, including a school building, a boys' dormitory, a farm dormitory, two socializing cottages, and a dairy barn was approved. The first mention of the amphitheatre in the local newspaper occurred on September 27, 1935; the article states that two proposals totalling $50,000 were submitted to the W.P.A. board to landscape the grounds and build the amphitheater. The funding was reduced to $18,000 when the request was approved in January, 1936. Bids for the amphitheatre and the wall were included as part of a project to install a powerful new boiler. Six months later the newspaper reported that The boiler will be installed in conjunction with a $8,000 P.W.A. project now under way at the schooL The project calls for the building of a rock fence around the south part of the grounds, landscaping the south hill, lawns, shrubbery and trees and the building of an amphitheater in the cove to the east of the school grounds and the boiler. 2 By December, 1937 the amphitheater was almost finished, but no mention was made in the newspaper concerning the completion of either the amphitheater or the wall. 3 Federally-funded public works construction at the Training School was substantial, but American Fork benefitted from many other W.P.A. projects as well. These included extensive sidewalk and road repair; park improvements and beautification of the cemetery, including building a rock wall similar to that of theTraining School; an addition to the junior high school, and a new kitchen for the elementary schooL In Utah County thirty-seven buildings alone were erected through the W.P.A. and other New Deal programs. Twentyseven of these are listed on the National Register as part of the Public Works Buildings Thematic Resource nomination. The amphitheater is one of several constructed throughout the state during the 1930's. Four were constructed in Utah County, including two by the Civilian Conservation Corps (Theater-in-the-Pines at Aspen Grove and Mutual Dell in American Fork Canyon) and two by the W.P.A. (the state hospital in Provo and the Training School). With only 12 tiers the Training School amphitheater is the smallest, as the others range from 18 to 22 tiers. Other amphitheaters in Utah were built at other locations in Utah through New Deal funding, including the University of Utah and Utah State University campuses; Maple Canyon near Wales, Sanpete County; and Zion National Park (listed on the National Register).4 2 "Bids Asked on School Improvement," American Fork Citizen, July 31, 1936, p. 1. 3 "Growth Marks Year at the Utah State Training School."

The wall demarcates the southern property line along 700 North through which the south entrance to the campus leads to the amphitheater and complex. The amphitheater is approximately 100 yards north of the wall and is banked into a hillside landscaped with evergreens and shrubs. Between the amphitheater and the wall is an open lawn space bordered with trees and shrubs. The Training School is located on a bench at the northeast corner of the city, with farmland to the north and east, a golf course and river bottom to the west, and residences to the south. The wall is constructed of sandstone, quartzite, and shale. The wall is l'f35' long and ends 50' south of 900 East Street. From this point a wooden rail fence extends to the street. The rock wall ranges in height at various points from 7 19" to 3 13" and is 1'6 11 thick. Concrete has been used for reinforcement at the base of the wall between 233' and 375' (using the western end as a beginning). Heavy square stone pillars with pyramidal caps are located at approximately 33 1 intervals. The top of this wall is steeply sloped and forms a peak. The wall opens to a driveway that is 59 1 wide 749 1 from the west end. The driveway walls curve symmetrically to the inside for a distance of 16 15" and end with concrete posts approximately 21 square. The driveway curves northwest past the amphitheater where one can turn east to encircle the amphitheater and surrounding grounds, returning to the entrance, or continue north to the main campus. The wall begins about 5; below grade and changes after several hundred feet as it follows the grade up the hill. In a few places the stone is spal1ing and needs to be repaired. Other than this it is in very good condition and has maintained a high degree of integrity. Amphitheater The amphitheater is approached from a curvilinear drive accessed from 700 North. It is banked into a steep slope and is surrounded by mature pine trees. At the back of the stage the conifers ·gradually end, the lawn is terraced, and the grass is bordered by deciduous shrubs and bushes. When seated one has a view of Utah Lake and the Lake Mountains beyond. 1 Apparently this section of wood railing was built to replace an original stone section that was removed to allow for better visibility and safety. ~ See continuation sheet OMS No. 10024-0018 NPS Form 10-900-a U1ah WordPerfec15_1 Formal (Revised Feb. 1993) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section No. _7_ Page -.L Utah State Training School Amphitheater and \01:111, American Fork, Utah County, UT Like the Recreation Center at the State Hospital in Provo (also listed on the National Register), the Training School amphitheater is constructed entirely of stone, including the aisles and seats. The Training School seats are 1'6" high with a depth of 2' 6", rising up the slope at a 30 degree angle in 12 tiers. There are four aisles between the seats--two at the end and two equidistant from the center. An aisle at the top of the amphitheater separates the seating from a 3 ' 10" stone wall; openings in the wall correspond to the aisles between the seats. At either end of the amphitheater, flanking a concrete stage that is elevated 2 ' , are one-story buildings measuring 14 ' 9" by 21'3". These appear to have served as dressing rooms or ticket sales. Three window openings (now boarded) with stone sills face the stage. The tops of the rooms serve as terraces and can be accessed by a short flight of stairs from both the upper aisle of the amphitheater and the walk surrounding it. The metal handrails and terrace railings are probably not of the historic period. No major alterations have been made to the amphitheater. It is in need of some repair, but it is still very much in keeping with its original appearance.

In 1933 Utah had an unemployment rate of 36 percent, the fourth highest in the country, and for the period 1932-40 Utah's unemployment rate averaged 25 percent. Because the depression hit Utah so hard, Federal programs were extensive in the state. Overall, per capital Federal spending in Utah during the 1930s was ninth among the forty-eight states, and the percentage of workers on Federal work projects was far above the national average. Building programs were of great importance. During the 1930s virtually every public building constructed in Utah was built under Federal programs. Almost without exception none of the buildings would have been constructed when they were without the assistance of the Federal Government. More than 240 buildings were constructed in Utah during the 1930s and early 1940s under the Works Progress Administration (WPA) and other New Deal programs. Approximately half of those buildings meet National Register eligibility requirements outlined in the 1985 thematic nomination of Public Works Buildings in Utah. The amphitheater is being nominated as a part of the Public Works Buildings Thematic Resources nomination.The amphitheater and rock wall meet National Register Criterion A in the area of social history as examples of the impact of the W.P.A. in American Fork in providing community amenities for landscape beautification and recreation, and in Utah as part of a state facility. American Fork is located in the northern half of Utah County. Its advantageous location near two of the state's population centers, Provo and Salt Lake City, made it a strong contender for consideration as the location for the State Training School. In 1929 officials of the State Building Committee visited several communities, including Spanish Fork and West Jordan, and despite concerns about the availability of enough water for culinary purposes, chose a site in the northeast quadrant of the town known as "Featherstone Hill". Once the city reached an agreement with the American Fork Irrigation Board and Utah Power and Light to exchange water rights and rebuild the water system, the location of the new institution was assured. Scott and Welch, a prominent Salt Lake City architectural firm that received many commissions throughout Utah for educational structures, was chosen to design the buildings~ The $180,000 contract for construction was awarded to Jacobson Construction of Provo in 1930. The initial building campaign designed by Scott & Welch consisted of a service building, two brick dormitories, facilities for laundry and a boiler, and one farm dormitory. The purpose of the school, as stated in the first biennium report was to: ~ See continuation sheet OMS No. 10024·0018 NPS Form 10-900-a U1ah WordPerfecl5.1 Format (Revised Feb. 1993) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section No. -1L Page ~ Utah State Training School Amphitheater and Wall, American Fork, Utah County, UT ... detect or discover the mentally deficient while young and adaptable, to take and train them in accordance with their mental abilities, and when so trained and socialized, and then sterilized, to return them to their respective communities, where, under proper supervision, they may function as normally as possible and be assets rather than liabilities. Under this plan they will 2 not be permitted to reproduce their kind, as further public charges. The school opened on October 5, 1931. Every biennial report states that the population grew rapidly, from 158 in 1932 to 248 in 1934, and from 443 in 1936 to 594 in 1937. The school ran an extensive outpatient program to "identify the mentally deficient" and to guide parents in finding appropriate treatment outside the school. In 1936, 37 percent of those examined on an outpatient basis were admitted to the institution. This, coupled with the fact that many parents of the students were struggling financially and may have welcomed the chance to reduce their household size, created overcrowded conditions. W.P.A. money was used to construct a new girls' dormitory and an employee's building. In 1937 an application for $200,000 to erect additional structures, including a school building, a boys' dormitory, a farm dormitory, two socializing cottages, and a dairy barn was approved. The complex and many of these buildings were designed by the prominent Salt Lake City-based architectural firm of Scott &Welch. In general, the characteristics of this designed landscape, the layout of concrete paths, rows of trees, and the rock wall are significant character-defining features. Even though alterations and additions have compromised the integrity of the original layout, it is a unique and distinct grouping of buildings and features. The amphitheater and rock wall are two of thirteen structures (plus fifteen farm structures) ~n the site that are considered eligible for National Register designation. Their proximity to one another, stone construction, and geographic separation from the upper part of the campus provide a cohesiveness and distinctive quality, constituting an appropriate setting for being nominated together, apart from the entire campus. The first mention of the amphitheater in the local newspaper occurred on September 27, 1935. The article states that two proposals totalling $50,000 were submitted to the W.P.A. board for landscaping the grounds and building the amphitheater. The funding was reduced to $18,000 when the request was approved in January 1936. Bids for the amphitheater and the wall were included as part of a project to install a powerful new boiler. Six months later the newspaper reported that: 2 Second Biennial Report to the Board of Trustees, Utah State Training School, American Fork, Utah, June 3D, 1934, p.l. 3 Roper, Roger. Office.

The project calls for the building of a rock fence around the south part of the grounds, landscaping the south hill, lawns, shrubbery and trees and the building of an amphithe~ter in the cove to the east4 of the school grounds and the boiler. By December 1937 the amphitheater was almost finished, but no mention was made jn the newspaper concerning the completion of either the amphitheater or the wall. Federally-funded public works construction at the Training School was substantial, but American Fork benefitted from many other W.P.A. projects as well. These included extensive sidewalk and road repair, park improvements, an addition to the junior high school, a new kitchen for the elementary school, and the construction of several buildings including a similar wall and an amphitheater at the American Fork cemetery. In Utah County alone thirty-seven buildings were erected through the W.P.A. and other New Deal programs. Six of those are listed on the National Register and the Training School amphitheater is being added to this list of Public Works Buildings Thematic Resource nomination. The wall is similar to the one constructed around the American Fork cemetery by the W.P.A. They are both of stone construction, however, the cemetery wall has concrete caps along the top of the wall, and pyramidal concrete caps on top of the heavy stone pillars. It is an identifying characteristic of the Training School and provides a distinct visual boundary for the facility. The amphitheater is one of several constructed throughout the state during the 1930s. Other amphitheaters were built in Utah through New Deal funding, including those at the University of Utah and Utah State University campuses, the State Hospital in Provo, Theater-in-the-Pines at Aspen Grove (Provo Canyon), Mutual Dell in American Fork Canyon, and several smaller amphitheaters at campgr9unds and recreational areas on Forest Service and National Park Service land. Four were constructed in Utah County, including two by the Civilian Conservation Corps (Theater-in-the-Pines and Mutual Dell) and two by the W.P.A. (the State Hospital and the Training School). The Training School amphitheater is a bit smaller in scale 4 Note: There is considerable school property to the west, but it has never been developed; the school caflllus is actually due north. 5 "Bids Asked on School Improvement", American Fork Citizen, July 31, 1936, p.1. 6 "Growth Marks Year at the Utah State Tra i ning School", American Fork Citizen, December 24, 1937, p.1. 7 These include Maple Grove and the Great Basin Experimental Station (Ephraim Canyon), Sanpete County; Oak Creek Campground ar:d Adelaide Campground, Millard County; Zions National Park (listed on the National Register).

Martin Associate Director and Deputy State Historic Preservation Officer Enclosure cc: Mrs. Juel Belmont, 240 Chipman Avenue, American Fork, Utah 84003 RIGHTS OF OWNERS TO COMMENT AND/OR OBJECT TO LISTING IN THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES Owners of private properties nominated to the National Register have an opportunity to concur with or object to listing in accord with the National Historic Preservation Act and 36 CFR 60. Any owner or partial owner of private property who chooses to object to listing may submit, to the State Historic Preservation Officer, a notarized statement certifying that the party is the sole or partial owner of the private property and objects to the listing. Each owner or partial owner of private property has one vote regardless of the portion of the property that the party owns. If a majority of private property owners object, a property will not be listed. However, the State Historic Preservation Officer shall submit the nomination to the Keeper of the National Register of Historic Places for a determination of eligibility of the property for listing in the National Register. If the property is then determined eligible for listing, although not formally listed, Federal agencies will be required to allow for the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation to have an opportunity to comment before the agency may fund, license, or assist a project which will affect the property (see below). If you choose to object to the listing of your property, the notarized objection must be submitted to Wilson G. Martin, Deputy State Historic Preservation Officer, 300 Rio Grande, Salt Lake City, Utah, 84101, before the Utah Board of State History meets to consider the nomination. Other comments regarding the nomination of this property should also be directed to Mr. Martin prior to the meeting date. A copy of the nomination and information on the National Register and the Federal and State tax provisions are available from the above address upon request. RESULTS OF LISTING IN THE NATIONAL REGISTER Eligibility for Federal tax provisions: If a property is listed in the National Register, certain Federal tax provisions may apply. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 revised the historic preservation tax incentives authorized by Congress in the Tax Reform Act of 1976, the Revenue Act of 1978, the Tax Treatment Extension Act of 1980, the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981_, and Tax Reform Act of 1984, and as of January I, 1987, provides for a 20 percent investment tax credit with a full adjustment to basis for the "substantial rehabilitation" of historic commercial, industrial, and rental residential buildings. (The former 15 percent and 20 percent Investment Tax Credits (ITCs) for rehabilitations of older commercial buildings are combined into a single 10 percent ITC for commercial or industrial buildings built before 1936.) The Tax Treatment Extension Act of 1980 provides Federal tax deductions for charitable contributions for conservation purposes of partial interests in historically important land areas or structures. Whether these provisions are advantageous to a property owner is dependent upon the particular circumstances oT the property and the owner. Because the tax aspects outlined above are complex, individuals should consult legal or professional counselor the appropriate local Internal Revenue Service office for assistance in determining tax consequences. For further information on certification requirements, please refer to 36 CFR 67. Eligibility for State tax provlslons: S.B. No. 42 passed during the 1993 General Session of the Utah State Legislature created a state income tax credit for the rehabilitation of historic (i.e., National Register listed) residential buildings, either owner-occupied or rental. The credit is 20% of the cost of rehabilitation work totaling more than $10,000. All of the proposed rehabilitation work must meet the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation~ and must be pre-approved by the State Historic Preservation Office. Rules implementing these tax provisions are still being developed. Contact the Historic Preservation Office for more information. II Consideration in planning for Federal, federally licensed, and federally assisted projects: Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 requires that Federal agencies allow for the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation to have an opportunity to comment on all projects affecting historic properties listed in the National Register. For further information, please refer to 36 CFR 800 or contact the Regulatory Assistance section of the Division of State History. Consideration in issuing a surface coal mlnlng permit: In accordance with the Surface Mining and Control Act of 1977, there must be consideration of historic values in the decision to issue a surface coal mining permit where coal is located. For further information, please refer to 30 CFR 700 et seq. Qualification for Federal or State grants for historic preservation when available: Presently, limited funding may be available through the Certified Local Government program. Direct grants to property owners are also occasionally available. For information about possible grants, contact the Office of Preservation, Utah Division of State History.
