The Dallin House was constructed c. 1905. It is located beside Hobble Creek, a stream that flows from the nearby Wasatch Mountains and meanders through the original gridded town plate of Springville, Utah. The one-and-one-half story house is a Late Victorian Eclectic style brick house with a central pyramidal block with projecting bays. The house has a rounded side-passage entry and adjacent staircase, topped with a small conical roof or turret, the buildings most significant exterior feature. l There is a one story rear lean-to addition built c. 1938 that extend across the entire rear elevation. This addition represents the only alteration to the exterior. Some minor modifications have been made to the interior, but overall the house retains its integrity. The house has a fieldstone foundation covered with a rock faced limestone ashlar. The wall system is a load bearing adobe brick (two wythes thick) with an exposed load bearing third wythe of common brick. The original front door and windows (predominantly one-over-one double-hung although the north elevation sash are twoover-two) and still in place. The roof has three Neo-classically trimmed gables. A tall painted wood frieze with dentils encircles the house, including the raking cornices and cornice returns. The c. 1938 addition has a concrete foundation with walls of common brick. The entire 1905 house remains standing except for a small rear structure apparently removed when the larger addition was constructed. 2 There is a c. 1940-1950 frame two car garage located northeast and adjacent to the house. It is considered a non-contributing building on the property. The interior consists of a semi-enclosed formal entry hall with a open ilL configured staircase, the latter being the most significant interior feature with side panels, lathe turned spindles, a large banister and newel posts. Beside the entry hall (to the left) is a parlor including a corner fireplace. Leading directly from the entry hall is a large dining room with a bay window (extending out from a projecting gable). Beside this room to the left is what appears to be the original kitchen, now used as a library, located directly behind the parlor. Combined, the original central block plan consists of an entry hall, one front room and two rear rooms. The original floor plan and partitions on the first floor have not changed II ~ See continuat ion sheet 1 There is a slight stylistic gesture towards the then-outmoded Richardson Romanesque in this turret-like entryway. This is also suggested in the rock face brick used on the entryway wall and on the segmented lintels above the windows and doors. Neo-classical gable ends, and cornice and facia mold ing surround the upper exterior walls. This combination of Neo-classical and Richardson Romanesque references is typical of Utah's turn-of-the-century vernacular building conventions. 2 This is indicated by remnant paint and construction scarl' above the addition roof line. |
