Frisby house is a two story brick house with an irregular plan. The irregular plan is determined by the roof configuration of a central pyramid intersected on three sides by projecting gables. A one story porch wraps around the northeast corner of the facade and is terminated at each end by one of the projecting opel ted wings. The porch is supported on Tuscan columns that extend from the side of one gabled wing under the eaves of the ' pyramidal roof to the other gabled wing. Classical detailing appears in the cornice and in the porch. The boxed cornice has brackets and a frieze decorated by dentils. A pediment with Classical Revival decoration on its tympanum and dentils on its frieze is located above the steps leading to the main entrance. Of particular note in the fenestration are the second story windows which have a triangular top above which ' the brickwork is in the configuration of a four-center ogee and a key-hole, and an oval stained glass window on the south wall of the first floor. A rear extension~ which may have been' a later' addition, was most likely added' soon after the original structure was built, and complements the house in its massing and fenestration • .. r'; • •.

Frisby House. built ca. 1906, is architecturally significant as the best preserved of the approximately 13 Victorian Eclectic houses of a specific type in Provo. This house type, which consists of a 1 1/2 or 2 story central block with a pyramid roof, two or more cross gables, and various speci fic detail S'" is regul arly found in Utah County, but is not found in Sal t Lake County and only occasionally seen in other areas of the state. This . house type was ·, usually associated with the local elite, in this case Joseph H• . - Fri sby , ' a-successful busi nessman who served for two years as mayor of Provo. ~. .": . ' The Frisby house is a somewhat modest Victori an house type that was most likely influenced by house pattern books. The Frisby house was selected in a comprehensive architectural survey, conducted by staff members of the Utah Historical Society in the spring of 1980, as one of the best of approximately 13 Victorian Eclectic homes of a specific type that remain in Provo. The Frisby house is an example of a specific type of Victorian Eclectic houses constructed in Provo and other Utah County communities around 1905--the 1 1/2 or 2 story pyramid house with cross gables. It was not used in Salt Lake City or in many other areas of the state, but was inexplicably popular in Utah County. All known examples of this type are constructed of brick, are 1 1/2 or 2 stories high, have a steeply pitched pyramid shaped roof over the central block, have at least two cross gables, and have an unusually shaped window (round arched, pointed, or ogee) in the upper story of the gable ends. Many also have eyelid dormers.. Their size and architectural embellishment (though relatively modest) distinguish them as homes for moderately wealthy citizens. They are not "high style" hOlJ\es and were probably inspired by Victorian House pattern books. The ideal of Victorian pattern book houses was to express the personality and the financial and social status of the owner. Though the house was often standardized in form, ornamentation was the means of personal expression and made each house unique. Victorian idealism said that the home should serve as a refuge from the world. In the home, women and children were to be sheltered from urban life and the father was to receive the spiritual refreshment that he needed after a day in the business world. The ideal of nature served as a psychological refuge and pattern book house designers attempted to portray nature in their architecture by using various types of imagery. The irregular shape reflected organic comp1exity.1 Rough limestone, wide clapboards, cedar shingles, green patina on slate tiles, all used for a single facade, gave the look of natural materials and venerable aging to a new house. It was common to simulate hues of nature with mineral paints and stains. Builders of the 1870s and 1880s favored the reds and golds of autumn leaves, the greens of ferns and lichens, the soft browns and grays of weathered woods. Unlike earlier ante-bellum carpenters, they daringly combined four and five colors on one house front. Even the lines of the house--the deeply sloping irregular roof, '.

The major distinguishing characteristic of the Frisby house is its irregular shape. Ogee windows, keyhole window and eyelid dormer, are details that emphasize the irregularity of the house. But even with its obvious asymmetry the house portrays a sense 'of symmetry through its predictable irregular shape and classical detailing: modi11ions on the cornice, Tuscan columns supporting the porch, pediment over the entranceway, and decorated tympanum. The Frisby house is virtura11y unaltered and is beautifully preserved, making it the best representative of this type of Victorian Eclectic house in Provo. The architectural style represents the social position and involvement of its middle class owner, who served in the community and local government. Joseph H. Frisby was an English immigrant. Born at Birmingham, England in 1850, he came to Utah, crossing the plains by ox team, in 1864 and settled at Coalville, where he remained for several years until he went to Arizona. In about 1903 he settled in Provo, Utah and became involved in business and city government. Frisby probably had this house built soon after purchasing this property in 1905~ He lived here until 1913, when he sold this house and moved into a house down the street at 258 North 400 West, where he died two years later. He was serving as a justice of the peace when he died November 31, 1915. He had previously served as mayor for two years, 1906-07, and had operated a mercantile business. 3 (He conducted business in the building that formerly housed the Provo West Co-op Store at 466 West Center.) Frisby's 1906 election as mayor was tied up in a major controversy over where the new train depot should be built. The town of Provo had become divided over business interests. Westsiders wanted the new train station located on their side of town and eastsiders wanted it on their side of town. Discussion went on for a time until 1905, when the Denver and Rio-Grande offered to build the depot. Westside interests captured the Republican convention and nominated fellow westsider Joseph Frisby for mayor because they expected him to act in their favor. Frisby won the election but only by 40 votes. Because of this narrow victory Frisby took no action on the matter during his two years in office--1906-07. In 1908, after Frisby left office, impatient railroad officials requested action on the matter. A vigorous and bitter strugg1 e between the opposing interests ensued until July 27, 1909 when an election was held. A small majority passed a franchise to build the new train depot on a westside location. It was built in 1910 at its present location on Third West and Sixth South. 4 In 1913, Frisby sold this house to Charles Hopkins. Like Frisby, Hopkins was also of the local elite. He was born February 21, 1864 at Dorcetshire, England. In 1887 he immigrated to America and settled at Elkhorn, Montana NPS Form 10·90().1 (3-82) OMS No. 1024-0018 Exp . 10-31-84 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service .

In 1912 he came to Utah and sett1 ed in Provo. In 1919 he was first elected to the Provo City Commission. He worked in this position for thirteen consecutive years, 1919-1931, and was inf1uentia1;n modernizing the city. Under his administration the City and County Building was buil t, the Provo Memori a1 Park was pl anned and most of Provo's streets were paved. In addition to his city government service, Hopkins served as the chairman of the Utah County WPA and FERA, 1932-1934. He died November 9, 1936 in the Frisby house.

Frisby, who was the mayor of Provo at the time the town was involved in a bitter struggle over where the railroad station was to be built. oI- ~ :x: Construction Date: c. 1906 The first two owners of this house were both significant figures from Provo's past. Both Joseph H. Frisby and Charles Hopkins came to Provo after having made fortunes elsewhere. After they arrived, both were very active in local affairs. Frisby served as mayor and in other civic offices while Hopkins served as city commissioner for twelve years. Joseph H. Frisby, the original owner of this house built about 1906, was born in Brimingham, England in 1850. He immigrated to Utah in l864~ and settled in Coalville. He then moved to Arizona where he was involved in the livestock business. After having made a good deal of money in Arizona, he moved to Provo in 1903. Just t~V'o years later, he was elected the city's mayor as a Republiaan. While Frisby was mayor, Provo was involved in a bitter struggle over where the railroad station was to be built. Frisby was from the west side of town, but because he had been elected by a scant forty votes, he was unable to further the cause of having the station built on the west side (it was eventually built on the west side of Provo and completed in 1911). Frisby was also a justice of the peace and was engaged in the mercantile business in Provo. He died in 1915. Frisby sold the house to Charles Hopkins in 1913. Hopkins was also an English immigrant who moved to Provo after attaining wealth in Montana through mining and mercantile interests. 'In Provo he served as city commissioner in 1910-1911 and from 1922 to 1932. Hopkins was active in the Episcopalian Church in Provo. .. -~- ---~-.---".~~-----------------.---.-.------ l~ 1st ~ , L '£&& ~ :S ~vD_t'~k\tthCo~ 1\ r~~_____ _ iQ110 ?Jj(s lro~o u \ ,\'\)in.~ -- - - lt - Fn~co""" H.

' Located in the National Park Service, Department of the Interior, the program is part of a national policy to coordinate and support public and private efforts to identify, evaluate, and protect our cultural and natural resources, and is maintained by the Secretary of the Interior under provisions of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. Listing in the National Register provides the following benefits to historic properties: -Consideration in the Planning for federally assisted projects . Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 provides that the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation be given an opportunity to comment on projects affecting such properties. -Eligibility for Federal tax benefits for rehabilitations of certain historic commercial, industrial, and residential rental buildings. -Consideration of historic values in the decision to issue a surface coal mining permit where coal is located, in accord with the Surface }tining and Control Act of 1977.
