Use continuation sheets as necessary. The Orson and Leda Mickelsen House, constructed in 1941, is a one-story brick Early Ranch and Art Moderne-style residence. The house is located in Draper at 604 E. Stokes Avenue (13540 South). The house faces north on a raised concrete foundation . The striated, light to medium orange brick is laid in a running bond with raked mortar joints. The main roof is nearly pyramidal. The center section of the house is a typical Early Ranch-style block with a brick chimneystack on the fac;:ade. On the west side is a one-story conical-roof round wing . On the east side is a setback attached garage that was extended in 1968. The roof is sheathed in brown asphalt shingles. The fac;:ade has excellent integrity and there have been only minor alterations to the rear of the house. The Mickelsen House sits on a 0.64-acre parcel that is mostly lawn. The only outbuildings currently associated with the property are two out-of-period, non-contributing sheds behind the attached garage. The fac;:ade (north elevation) features original fixed-frame picture windows in the center, double-hung windows in the west wing, and tripartite windows facing the garage. Some of the windows are replacements. The house also features glass-block at the corners and is in the round wing. The original front door has a "porthole" window. These elements give the house a modest Art Moderne look. The front chimneystack has brickwork that is reminiscent of the period revival era. The porch deck is concrete. The twisted wrought-iron balustrade appears to be a later addition. The wood garage door with its diamond pattern in the panels dates from 1968. On the west elevation, there is a secondary entrance and porch stoop. The garage obscures most of the east elevation. The rear (south) elevation has a small brick addition at the southwest corner. The back door is sheltered with a metal awning. On the interior, the house has 1,284 square feet of living space on the main floor and the same amount in the basement. The living room is at the front and the dining room in the round wing. The kitchen is at the rear of the east side. There are two bedrooms and a bath on the main floor. The basement is mostly finished, but some original features are visible such as the coal room and basement windows that were once exterior, but now are interior. There is no useable attic space. The house sits near the north end of a rectangular parcel of 0.64 acres. There is lawn and several mature trees in the front and back yards. The rear yard is fenced with vinyl, chain link, and wood. A concrete driveway is located in front of the garage. The property was originally part of a large complex of chicken coops and other outbuildings shared by four adjacent property owners.1 Up to the 1960s, the Mickelsen property included five 20 x 70 foot chicken coops , a barn, and a steel granary. None of the historic outbuildings associated with the Orson and Leda Mickelsen House are extant, although two chicken coops, a farm hand's house, and a barn are located on neighboring properties. Despite some minor modifications, the Orson and Leda Mickelsen House appears to be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. Stokes Avenue includes a mix of historic and non-historic housing stock. On the south side of the street, the neighboring homes near the Mickelsen House date from the 1920s to the 1950s. There is newer housing stock on flag lots and in adjacent subdivisions. The property at the rear of the Mickelsen House is relatively open and still retains a rural atmosphere. Particularly in context with other historic homes and outbuildings in the neighborhood related to the poultry industry, the Orson and Leda Mickelsen House contributes to the historic resources of its Draper community.

Brief History of Draper and the Draper Poultry Industry The city of Draper is located in the southeast section of the Salt Lake Valley lying against the hills that divide it from the Utah Valley. Originally scouted in 1847, the area was used to graze livestock because of its abundant water and grasses. The community of Draper was established in 1849 just two years after the arrival of members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS or Mormon Church) in the Salt Lake valley. The early settlers raised cattle to sell to emigrants on route to the California gold mines. Between 1855 and 1856, a fort was constructed and most of the settlers lived there. By the time the Utah Southern Railway reached the area in 1871 , the community was a thriving though somewhat scattered collection of farmsteads. In 1876, a town site was surveyed for the community, by then known as Draperville. The name was later shortened to Draper. During the nineteenth century, the community grew steadily with the economy primarily driven by farming (grains and fruits) and ranching (sheep and cattle) . After the arrival of the Denver & Rio Grande Railway 1881 several industries were established near the rail corridor and a thriving mercantile industry was established near the town center. The poultry business began in Draper in the early 1900s, and grew, especially after twentieth-century amenities such as electricity (1912) and piped culinary water (1915-1917) made it easier to raise poultry. Around 1922, eight farmers began to work co-operatively to buy feed and market eggs. In 1926, Draper Poultrymen Incorporated was organized . By the time of the 1930 census enumeration nearly one-third of all workers in the town employed by the ubiquitous chicken farms and three eggfeed processing plants. Draper's poultry business thrived despite a general downturn in the economy during the depression years, but the business was not without risks . In 1932, a disease went through chicken farms in Draper and wiped out entire flocks. Some producers lost everything and gave up the idea of producing and selling eggs. That year, the Draper Egg Producers Association was organized to market feed and eggs. During World War II, Draper poultry farmers shipped so many eggs that the community became known as the "Egg Basket of Utah ." Although the poultry industry declined in the 1960s, the town retained its rural atmosphere until the late 1980s. During the last three decades, Draper has experienced a high level of residential development around the town and in the foothills. The main transportation corridors have seen a heavy commercial development in retail and restaurant establishments. However, the four-story Draper Poultrymen Plant (now IFA) dominates the skyline of the former farming community and is a reminder of the city's important historic ties to the poultry industry. Early History of the Mickelsen Property The land on which the Mickelsen House sits was once part of a 160-acre parcel of land granted to Jeremiah Stokes (18191875) in 1860. The street is named Stokes Avenue after the first residents of the neighborhood . The Stokes property was in the southeast portion of Draper north and south of 13540 South (Stokes Avenue) . By April 1912, another resident of the east south portion of Draper, Jackson Rial Allen (1869-1943) , purchased property on the south side of Stokes Avenue from Jeremiah Stokes' daughter, Fanny Stokes (1853-1940), and Stokes' son , Thomas Stokes (1842-1915) .2 On June 20, 1921 , J. R. Allen sold a portion of the Stokes Avenue property to his daughter, Louise R. Mickelsen, the wife of A. R. Mickelsen. The Mickelsen farm extended from the south side of Stokes Avenue to the Draper Irrigation Company canal, between approximately 300 East to 700 East. In 1904 Fanny Stokes built a home next to her parents' home on the north side of the street at 675 E. Stokes Avenue where she lived until her death. Thomas Stokes and his wife Ellen Louisa Canfield Stokes (1850-1924) moved from the family farm to a house closer to the Draper town center in 191 0. 2 5 HISTORY 604 E. Stokes Avenue, Draper, Salt Lake County, Utah p. 4 -continuedRuth Louise Allen Mickelsen (1892-1967) was born in Draper to Jackson R. Allen and Matilda Caroline Day Allen (1870-1946) . Louise Mickelsen married Relius Mickelsen on July 23, 1917. Anton Arelius "Relius" Mickelsen (1881-1968) was born in Draper three months after his parents arrived from Denmark. As a young man, Relius worked as a sheepherder with his father and brothers in Idaho. In 1921 , the couple returned to Draper. They purchased the former Thomas Stokes property and Relius and Louise started raising chickens with thirty-two hens Louise's mother had given them . At first, Relius farmed the land and raised some lambs, while Louise tended the chickens ; but the couple soon realized there was money to be made in poultry and they expanded their facilities . Around 1922, Relius Mickelsen, his brother, Joseph E. Mickelsen (1885-1976), and six other men organized a cooperative venture to market and sell eggs. In May 1926, Relius, Joe, and a third brother, Orson Andrew Mickelsen (1890-1985) organized the Draper Poultrymen Incor~orated . The company began building a poultry and feed processing plant at 1071 E. Pioneer Road (12400 South) in Draper. Relius served as president of the organization. Joe was the secretary and treasurer. He also was the most active in marketing and selling.4 Orson Mickelsen was manager of the poultry plant and became president of the Draper Egg Producers' Association in 1932. Their oldest brother, Soren J. Mickelsen (1874-1936), owned the lumber and hardware store that provided most of the lumber for the farmers who built chicken coops in Draper in the 1920s 5 and 1930s. While serving as the president of the Draper Poultrymen , Relius and Louise Mickelsen continued to build up their own chicken farm in cooperation with their neighbors. A photograph of the farm taken in the early 1930s shows a massive complex of chicken coops behind the homes along Stokes Avenue. These homes included a clipped-gable bungalow built in 1930 by Relius and Louise. In 1927, a younger brother, Elmon Dorius Mickelsen (1895-1949), and his new wife, Nora Hendricksen Mickelsen (1905-1992), built a bungalow on the property to the east of Relius and Louise's property. Elmon sold a portion of his property to Wilford Alford Warr (1888-1960), who built a small frame house west of Elmon. Wilford Warr married Helen Carter Warr (1908-2006). They lived in the frame house until they built a new brick home on the property in 1949. The property to the west of Relius and Louise was owned by Cyril Adelord Gravell (1869-1944) and Alice Swaner Gravell (18781959). After Cyril's death in 1944, the Gravell property was sold to Marlon Earl Parkin (1912-1996) and Gladys Williams Parkin (1914-2009) where they continued to raise white Leghorn chickens . Relius's brother Orson A. Mickelsen married Eleda Roseta Smith Mickelsen (1903-1989) on September 19,1927. Leda and Orson Mickelsen are listed on the 1930 census living in the same household with Relius , Louise, and their baby son Allen .s A dwelling for the farmhands, which was incorporated into a row of chicken coops , also appears in the photograph , but the early occupants are unknown . Historv of the Relius and Louise Mickelsen House In 1941 , Orson and Leda Mickelsen built their house in front of the bungalow at 604 E. Stokes Avenue. The builder is unknown, but was most likely Cyrus or Curtis Vawdrey. Wilford Cyrus Vawdrey (1883-1948) was a lifelong resident of Draper. Cyrus Vawdrey started his professional career as a teacher, but switched to contracting in 1910. He built many homes and other buildings in Draper and throughout the Salt Lake Valley. Cyrus Vawdrey built the Joseph and Mina Mickelson home and portions of the Draper Poultrymen Plant, so he would have been a likely choice of builder for the Mickelsen brothers. His brother, Curtis Vawdrey (1898-1970), worked as a foreman for Cyrus, building the Draper Second Ward meetinghouse and an addition to Jordan High School. In 1941 , the same year the Mickelsen homes were built, Curtis started his own company. He built numerous homes, chicken coops , and silos in the Draper area. 7 Orson and Leda Mickelsen lived in their home on Stokes Avenue for the remainder of their lives. In addition to his positions with the Draper Poultrymen and Draper Egg Producers, Orson Mickelsen also served as director of the Utah Manufacturers Association and the Pacific Poultry, Butter and Eggs Association. During World War II , he was president of the Rationing Board for Salt Lake County and later named state director for the American Red Cross. Orson also sold fire insurance for the Northwestern Mutural Fire Association . Before her marriage, Leda Mickelsen worked as a telephone operator in Salt Lake City. She was active in the Primary organization of her LDS ward . Orson and Leda Mickelsen had two daughters, Kaye and DeAna. After their deaths, the house was sold to a niece, Mary M. Sjoblom. The current owners, Jacob and Korinne Hendrikse purchased the house in November 1990. The Draper Poultrymen and Egg Producers' Plant was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 6, 2004. The home of Joseph E. Mickelsen and his wife, Emily Wilhelmina "Mina" Wadley Mickelsen (1887-1967) , was also listed on the National Register in May 2004. It was originally located across the street from the plant and moved in 2002 to 782 E. Pioneer Road. The bungalow was a showpiece in the community. Joe and Mina hosted many meetings for participants of the Draper poultry industry in their home. S The S. J. Mickelsen Hardware Store and Lumber Yard was listed on the National Register on May 6, 2004. 6 The placement of the household on the 1930 census does not appear to be with the rest of the Stokes Avenue property; however, there are no addresses and the household may not be listed in geographical order. 7 History of Draper, Volume One: 720-723 . 3 4 604 E. Stokes Avenue, Draper, Salt Lake County, Utah 5 HISTORY p. 5 -continuedThe Orson and Leda Mickelsen House is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion A for its association with the rise of the poultry industry in Draper. It meets the registration requirements of the Multiple Property Listing , Historic and Architectural Resources of Draper, Utah, 1849-1954. The associated historic context is TwentiethCentury Community Development and the Poultry Industry Period, 1918-1954. The significance of the Mickelsen House is strengthened by its ties to other properties associated with the Draper poultry industry previously listed on the National Register (see footnotes above). The chicken farm located on Stokes Avenue, mostly owned by the Mickelsen family, was one of the two largest poultry and egg complexes in Draper in the mid-twentieth century.s It is recommended that the Orson and Leda Mickelsen House be considered as part of a Multiple Property Submission that includes the Relius and Louise Mickelsen House, the Elmon and Nora Mickelsen House, the Gravell-Parkin House, and all extant outbuildings associated with the former Stokes Avenue chicken farm .9 The house may also be eligible under Criterion C as an eclectic mix of the Early Ranch, Art Modeme, and Period Revival styles from the 1940s. 604 E.

The Stokes Avenue farm was only rivaled by the Allen family farm on around 1000 East and 13200 South. It is debatable which farm was larger since the number of coops and chickens could vary from year to year. 9 The Warr House has been altered , but may be eligible for primarily historical significance. The outbuildings are mostly on subdivided parcels, but could be nominated with the owners' permission . 8 Micke/sen, Orson & Leda, House 604 E.

Mickelsen was born in Draper, Utah on September 21, 1890, the seventh child of Niels and Sofie Rasmussen Mickelsen. He graduated from the eighth grade in 1903 and completed his first year of high school in Sandy and West Jordan. The next four years were spent delivering merchandise for the Draper Mercantile and Manufacturing Store in Draper. In 1909, he enrolled at the L.D.S. Business College and graduated in accounting at the top of his class. For this achievement he received the Heber J. Grant Scholarship Award. His first accounting jobs were with the Utah Oil Refining Company and the Salt Lake Branch of the Ogden Packing Company. After working five years as an accountant, he spent the next ten years in the sheep industry in Idaho and Nebraska, including employment with the Swift Estate, feeding and marketing herds of sheep. Beginning in 1926, Mr. Mickelsen, together with two brothers, assisted with the organization of the Draper Poultrymen Incorporated. The Mickelsen brothers became the first corporation managers, and in fact had been the only managers when the Draper Poultrymen sold to Intermountain Farmers thirty-seven years later in 1963. As a manager, Mr. Mickelsen had the responsibility for buying, feed nutritional formulations, and served as Corporation accountant. Operat~ng on a low price-large volume basis, the Corporation was financially successful and a forty dollar stock investment in 1926 yielded a lifetime dividend and final sale return of $5,210.98 on the sale date in 1963. In 1926, Mr. Mickelsen took a one-year leave of absence from the Draper Poultrymen and worked as Clerk for the Board of Education in the Jordan School District. Continuing as manager for the Draper Poultrymen Incorporated, in 1932, Mr. Mickelsen also assumed responsibilities as Manager of the Draper Egg Producer's Association. Under his management, the Association's volume grew to over a car load of 600 cases of eggs per day, with selling agencies in New York, Denver, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and Reno. The Draper Egg Producer's Association received eggs from throughout the state of Utah and in 1963 merged with Intermountain Farmers Association. As a matter of interest, both the Draper Poultrymen Incorporated and the Draper Egg Producer's Association operated on a cash basis, usually entirely debt free, . and at the time of sale and merger with Intermountain Farmers Association, possessed no liabilities • . Following the sale of Draper Poultrymen Incorporated and the merger of Draper Egg Producers Association in 1963, Mr. Mickelsen worked for two years as Secretary of Intermountain Farmers and Manager of their Draper Branch. During his success(ul career, Mr. Mickelsen devoted time to a wide variety of organizations, filling numerous civic and church positions. He served on the Board of Direction of the Utah State Fair Association for eight years and was the Association President in 1954. He was a member of the Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce from 1934 to 1971 and 37 -2served on the Chamber's Advisory Council for thirty years. He was Director of the Utah Manufacturer's Association for one year, and for three years served on the Advisory Committee for the Salt Lake County Hospital. Mr. Mickelsen was State Director for the American Red Cross for one year and in 1945-46 was Director of the Pacific Poultry. Butter and Eggs Association, headquartered in San Francisco. For over thirty years, he sold fire insurance for _Northwestern Mutual Fire Association and automobile insurance for Northwest Casualty Company. During World War II, he was President of the Rationing Board for south Salt Lake County. He served as Ward Clerk for a period of ten years in the Draper Second and Fourth L.D.S. Wards. Since 1964, Mr. Mickelsen has served on the Walker Bank Advisory Committ e e for the Sandy, Midvale, and Riverton Branches. Mr. Mickelsen reflects fondly upon an experience in 1932 when a great many banks were going bankrupt. He and his brothers were called to a meeting in Sandy to confer with the Sandy City Bank President and Cashier. They were told that the Sandy Bank could not open for business the following morning unless additional operating cash could somehow be raised. At this meeting, the Mickelsen brothers bought enough bank stock to provide the necessary additional cash and satisfy the minimum amount required for business operation by the bank examiner. This stock was purchased at a time when a stockholder risked not only the loss of money invested in the stock, but was also held liable to bank creditors for the value of the stock in the event the bank went broke. The following morning numerous depositors had gathered at the bank intending to withdraw their money. One of Mr. Mickelsen's brothers pushed his way through the crowd and made a large deposit from the Draper Poultrymen Incorporated. The Poultrymen deposit demonstrated the confidence of its managers in the Sandy Bank's solvency. This demonstration apparently quelled the fears of the assembled depositors and they left without withdrawals. The Sandy City Bank was one of only a few banks that was not forced to close. ~~ ~~ Orson Mickelsen married Leda Smith and they are/ the parents of two daughters--Kaye M. Budge and DeAna M.

" .J . - , ~ HISTORY OF DRAPER EGG PRODUCERS' ASSOCIATION, INC. The community of Draper is the center of the poultIy and egg productjon jndlJS!1)' fOT the State of Utah. Through cooperative means this has become a very profitable means of making a living for the majority offamilies in Draper. One of these cooperatives is the "Draper Egg Producers' Association, Inc.". On the site where this plant now stands there was a canning factory. In 1926, the canning factory was converted into a poultry feed plant. The industry increased until some prominent poult!)' men decided to erect 8 bigger building, with both egg and feed marketing combined. In 1932 these men organized the Draper Egg Producers' Association, Inc., and decided to put the Mickelsen brothers at the head of it - O.A. Mickelsen, A.R. Mickelsen and J .E. Mickelsen. The building, which' now stands, was built in t 926. This business has never known a loss since it was organized. The annual cases of eggs which are sent out are approximately 211,933. This figure was set for the year 1945. The eggs are sent to the Armed Forces War Food Active Boards sales offices in New York, Los Angeles and different part of Utah. The business is growing so rapidly it has been decided to erect a building which will cost about $135,000.00 It will be used for the dressing of chickens and turkeys and the storage of eggs. For both sides of the feed plant there are 105 employees. The total salaries for these employees was $215,000.00 During 1945, over a million bags of feed were sold to the poultry men, which shows that one of Draper's leading industries is marketing poultry and poultry products.
