The Cyrus E. Dallin house was constructed c. 1905. It is located beside Hobble Creek, a stream that lets out of the nearby Wasatch Mountains Range and meanders through the original gridded town plate of Springville, Utah. The 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 and1 adjacent staircase, topped with a small conical roof or turret, the buildings most significant exterior feature. There is a rear lean-to addition built c. 1938 that extend across the entire rear elevation. This addition represents the only alteration to the exterior. Some 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 roof is frame with three neo-classical trimmed gables. The c. 1938 addition has a concrete foundation with walls of common brick. The entire 1905 2house remains standing except for a small rear structure apparently removed when the larger addition was constructed. 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, having been built after the period of significance. The interior consists of a semi-enclosed formal entry hall with a open "L" configured staircase (see slide), 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 dinning 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 and pantry, now used as a library, located directly behind the parlor. Combined, the original central block plan consists of a entry hall, one front room and two rear rooms. The original floor plan and partitions on the first floor have not changed though the function of the left rear room has changed from a kitchen to library. The current kitchen and first floor washroom is located in a c. 1938 lean-to addition. Access is gained through both the dinning room and library. ~ 1 See continuation sheet There Is a slight stylistic gesture towards the than 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-classlcal gable ends, and comlce and facia molding surrounds the upper exterior walls. This combination of Neo-classlcal and Richardson Romanesque references Is typical of Utah's tum-of-the-century vemacular building conventions. 2 This Is Indicated by remnant paint and construction scares above the addHlon roof line. |
