UTAH 84101 TELEPHONe801/53$-5755 Mr. &Mrs. Cleeo Wright, Sr. 5937 Kamas Circle Salt Lake City, Ute 84118 Dear Mr. &Mrs. Wright: Thank you for your submission of the William Hood Hill House, 420 E. 4200 So., Murray, for possible nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. In reviewing the materials that you sent to us, several observations and comments come to mind. First, the National Register reviewers in Washington, D.C. look specifically at the "integrity" of a building. Their guidelines state, "To meet the criteria properties listed in the National Register must retain their historic integrity." That is, how much has the building been changed or altered, and if it has, when? Therefore, for us to provide you with our determination of eligibility, we would like additional photographs and specific dates of construction and additions or alterations, so that our architectural historian can review them. He can then determine if the residence retains its integrity and if it may be eligible on the basis of its architecture. In addition, the National Register Office has currently tightened its review procedure. All nominations submitted are substantially reviewed and screened for specific reasons as to why they meet the "Criteria for Evaluation" (a copy of which is enclosed). If a house, such as the Hill House, is significant in the theme of "religion" it must be shown and documented specifically as to why the residence is significant and how the home relates to others which may be considered of equal importance. Has the Hill House ever been mentioned or part of a study appearing in a scholarly history of the LOS Church, or of the lives of any of the church officials mentioned in your history? This information would help in documenting "exactly" how and why the Hill House is important in Mormon history, and thus religion. The above comments also pertain to the role and importance of William H. Hill. For a building to be eligible under "Criteria B" ("associated with the lives of persons Significant in our pastil), it must be stated and documented as to specifically how this person (or persons) were significant. What exactly did State History Board: Milton C. Abrams, Chairman • Theron H. luke • Ted J . Warner • Etizabeth Montague • Thomas G. Alexander Delio G. Dayton • Wayne K. Hinton • Helen Z. Papanikolas • David S. Monson • Elizabeth Griffith • William D. Owens they do and how has that been shown to be of importance. Again, references to scholarly articles or books mentioning William H. Hill and his importance would be helpful. This information is needed so that we can adequately determine if the Hill House is elgibile for listing in the National Register. Since the register office demands such information . and clarity in our nominations that are sent to Washington, we must use the same approach in evaluating properties prior to submitting them to our state review committee. Again, thank you for your interest in historic preservation, and we look forward to hearing from you in the future. If you have any questions, please contact our office. Sincerely, Philip F.

'lhis was probably in 1889 or 1890, those trees are still there. William Hill was a. rancher; his ranch was in Wyoming. As his fa.mily grew to nine boys and ona da.ughter there was a.n a.dd.1 tion of brick added to the north end of the home. 'The home now consisted. of tuelve rooms and the front of the house :faced the rising sun. It is interesting· to note that evan· thoW-"oh the water table 1n this area was h1gh, wells for the home, etc. t were not dug but drilled to obtain a. flow. : After the home nas established many of the General Author! ties of the church u,pon visiting in the area for conference meetings, etc., would more often than not s~ over night.

Hill (a son of William H. Hill) with his wife went to Sa.lt Lake City to bring him to the home. When ready to leave they took him back to Salt Lake. 'lhe buggy they used to take him home had only one small seat and so Sister Hill sa.t on President Snow's lap. At the time she was carrying her unborn son, Anthon, aJ)d President Snow said he felt he should give her a blessing. He said that the unborn child that she carried would always be a comfort and never leave her and always be near. Now this blessing came to pass as Anthon Hill always lived near and took oare of his parents untU they died. At this writing Anthon is still alive. Vhen President Heber J.

The building in question is a vernacular designed house with modest victorian elements and dating from the late 19th/early 20th century. The painted masonry building maintains much of its original exterior integrity. I did not attempt to evaluate the interior of the building. It is my opinion from an exterior inspection that the house at 4288 South 500 East exhibits sufficient historic character and sense to be given a historic site determination. Should you have any questions on this position please do not hesitate to contact me. As always, thank you for asking the Utah Heritage Foundation to be involved in such historic preservation matters. e Executive Director 355 QUINCE STREET SALT LAKE CITY; UTAH 84103 [phone] r . . -:;- /~ ':.1.

Henry Pond 3950 South 700 East Suite 204 Salt Lake City, UT 84107 RE: 4288 South 500 East, Salt Lake County ·Dear Dr. Pond: We have reviewed the information on the William H. Hill(?) House at 4288 South 500 East. The house is a handsome Victorian Eclectic style building, apparently built in 1904. While the house is potentially eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, without a complete architectural context in Salt Lake County, listing would be a challenge. However, we definitely encourage its local recognition as a historic structure in Salt Lake County and its continued use and sensitive rehabilitation. From your description, the proposed re-use of this building as a dental office could help to ensure the building's long-term preservation. While different than the house's original use, the proposed re-use could be very compatible with the architecture of the house and comply with the Secretary of the Interior's Standard No.1 recommending a compatible use for rehabilitated historic structures. As you are aware, there is a 10% federal investment tax credit available for the substantial rehabilitation of historic (but not listed) structures used for non-residential functions. We hope that you will be able to utilize this preservation incentive. Best of luck in your planning for this project. If we can be of any assistance, particularly in providing technical preservation information, please feel free to contact us again. Sincerely, ~.~ Charles M. s;e~erd .

Henry Pond dated March 16, 1992. We hope that this letter will clarify our comments and the role of the Office of Preservation in this matter. Our letter to Dr. Pond was generated at his request for our oplnlon of the possible historic significance of the house in question. It was based on the historical information that he provided and a color photograph on the real estate fact sheet. We have since driven by the property. Even with the exterior alterations, the house remains potentially eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. It may also be eligible for the county's historic register. Recognition of the house as a historic site by Salt Lake County is at its discretion, based solely on its criteria. To clear-up one possible misconception, eligibility for, or listing on, the National Register does not constrain or over-ride any local government planning authority. The only exceptions to this would be if state or federal funding were involved in the project or if the local authority had enacted laws which gave special consideration to National Register properties. To our knowledge, neither of these situat~ons apply in this case. Also, the Division of State History (Utah State Historical Society) has no legal jurisdiction in this matter. We were asked to comment on the building's historic significance. Salt Lake County is entirely free to make planning decisions based on its comprehensive plan, ordinances, and planning process. Historic significance may be one of many variables considered in this process. Board of State Histor : louglas D. Alder· Marilyn C. Barker· Dale L. Berge • Boyd A. Blackner Hugh C. Gamer • Peter L.

Henry Pond - 4288 S 500 E - Include property and home under salt Lake County ordinance as a Historic Site. This council recommends denial of the above application for the reasons listed below. It is felt that Historical residential structures will not remain in harmony with the master plan unless they remain as a residential use. Because Mr. Pond is pursuing this change in zoning only because he wants to move his business into the home, we find that this proposal is not in harmony with the master plan. There were approximately 18 neighbor who attend our meeting. They submitted a petition containing about 49 signatures of neighbors which outlines their objection to any zoning change on the property. The neighbors were asked what their primary objection to the application was. The stated that they were a~ainst any zoning change which would allow a change in use from residential, even under a conditional use. Mr. Pond was asked if he would have perused having this structure designated as a historic site if he was not planning to move his business into it. He stated he would not because it would not be financially possible. There were several items pointed out which would detract from the historic significance of the structure: 1. The original structure has been modified over the years which altered it's appearance. a. The original screen porch on the rear was altered to a completely enclosed room. b. The deck over the porch was originally a roor over the porch, not a deck. c. The stairway on the south side g6ing to the upstairs deck was not part of the original structure. deck was not part of the original structure. d. On the south wall, the original window has been replaced with a garden window which is completely out of the historic time period. e. A previous doorway in the parlor to the outside was partially filled in with brick and a new window installed. 2. The inside of the structure was basically gutted and completely rebuild. a. The rooms have been rearranged and are different that the original home. . b. The kitchen was completely replaced. c. The upstairs has contained an activity room including a hot tub. d. The high ceilings have been lowered. 3. The large garage structure in the rear is not in harmony with the home. a. If the home is placed on the historic register, the garage should be torn down. b. There is a distinct possibility that the garage encroached on the property owned by the neighbor to the west. c. There is a strong possibility that a building permit was not obtained when the garage was built. 4. The structure appears to contain several coats of paint which is peeling off. a. To give the home part of it's initial appearance, it would be necessary to remove the paint and apply some type of transparent sealer. 5. Another consideration of the historic significance of the home is the family who lived in the home. a. For many years the home was known as the Wright home by many people yet the Wrights did not build the home, nor were they the original occupants. b. As far as the neighbors could determine, neither the Wrights or the family which build the home played a significant part in the historic history of the county. Another concern was with the additional traffic a business would initiate. Mr. Pond stated that a UDOT study indicated that his business would initiate 40 trips to or from his business. He stated that his traffic would not occur during peak times, early in the morning and late afternoon. In as much as the proposed business would be across the street from a school, the additional traffic would occur while the children are going to and from school in the morning, at noon and the afternoon. Many children cross the street at the intersection where the business would be . This would increase the danger to the children. On November 5, 1991 Mr. Pond appeared before this council with a proposal to change the zoning on the subject land from R-2-10 to a zone which would allow his dental practice. At that time the neighbors express a strong opposition to a change in zoning which allow a home use to change from residential to a business use. They were also concerned about the additional traffic, particularly because the home was across from the local school. As previously stated, the only reason Mr. Pond is pursuing this zoning change is so he has a chance of placing his dental practice into it. Requesting to have the home placed on the County historic register is only a means to and end for him, something he would not have perused otherwise. In talking with Clair Hardman about this application, he stated that he attend the same religious group in the same building as Mr. Pond. He stated he had spoken with him regarding this application. To avoid all possible appearances of a personal collaboration or conflict in this matter, we would suggest that Mr Hardman abstain from voting on this matter as a member of the County Historical Preservation group. It may even be advisable that he did not participate in the discussion on this matter. Per his request, I am sending a copy of this recommendation to him . .~~{h L!i Drage, Chai~ Millcreek Area Community Council cc: Clair Hardman 36453004 April 4, 1992 Development Services Division 2001 So. State Street Salt Lake City, trr 84190-4050 Ladies/Gentlemen: We are in receipt of your notice advising that W. Henry Pond. D.M.C., P.C., has made application for a rezoning request on property located on the Northeast Comer of Doreen Street (500 East 4288 South). There have been two previous rezoning requests on this same Propeny, and the neighborhood group successfully opposed and stopped these requests. We have reviewed County Zoning Chapter 1986. Historic Preservation. and all the additional uses this rezoning allows. We understand that Dr. Pond's primary reason for wanting to rezone and restore this property is to move his dental office into this building. Due to this being a residential neighborhood with public schools Witllin two city blocks. and many of the main entries to the school having no sidewalks for use by children or adults, we are most concerned about the added traffic that would be generated by a business at this location. We are very opposed to any zoning changes on this propeny, and are hereby requesting that the Planning Commission vote AGAINST approval of this application on April 28, 1992.

Henry Pond dated March 16, 1992. We hope that this letter will clarify our comments and the role of the Office of Preservation in this matter. Our letter to Dr. Pond was generated at his request for our opinion of the possible historic significance of the house in question. It was based on the historical information that he provided and a color photograph on the real estate fact sheet. We have since driven by the property. Even with the exterior alterations, the house remains potentially eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. It may also be eligible for the county's historic register. Recognition of the house as a historic site by Salt Lake County is at its discretion, based solely on its criteria. To clear-up one possible misconception, eligibility for, or listing on, the National Register does not constrain or over-ride any local government planning authority. The only exceptions to this would be if state or federal funding were involved in the project or if the local authority had enacted laws which gave special consideration to National Register properties. To our knowledge, neither of these situations apply in this case. Also, the Division of State History (Utah State Historical Society) has no legal jurisdiction in this matter. We were asked to comment on the building's historic significance. Salt Lake County is entirely free to make planning decisions based on its comprehensive plan, ordinances, and planning process. Historic significance may be one of many variables considered in this process. Board of State History: Douglas D. Alder • Marilyn C. Barker • Dale L. Berge • Boyd A. Blackner Hugh C.

State St. N3600, SLC, UT 84190-4050 2 April 6, 1992 S. L. County Development Services Divn. Plan Services Section 2001 S. State St, #N3600 Salt Lake City, UT 84190-4050 Attn: Messrs. Glen Graham and John Young Re: PL 92-4015 -- Application by Henry Pond. D.M.D., P.C. Dear Board Members: The home located at 4288 South 500 East was, for all practical purposes, vacated by the late Mr. and Mrs. Wright It was eventually turned over to some Wright family members. These family members constructed an illegal building on the property and commenced with an illegal commercial venture. When the Salt Lake Planning and Zoning Board rejected this illegal operation, the Wrights then sold the property to the Johnsons. The Johnsons in tum proceeded with their own illegal commercial venture. This was also rejected by the Planning and Zoning Board. However, while in residence, the Johnsons made considerable changes to the interior and exterior of the home. As you know, Historic classification is concerned more with the exterior than the interior of a building. The old screened rear entrance, or porch, was converted to a solid wood room and was incorporated into the interior of the home, adjacent to the kitchen area. The roof over the front porch was drastically changed to an upper deck, leading to an interior hot tub/recreation-type room. From that upper deck a modem stairway was constructed on the outside of the home leading down to ground level and into another exterior hot tub area, consisting of a redwood deck and a 6-foot wood fence extending from the home to the property line on Doreen Street, then west to the rear of the house, then north to the rear entrance of the house. A large window on the south side of the house was altered drastically into an allglass protruding type suitable for a modem-day flower window, or miniature hot house type window. The old original brick of the home has been painted several times. It was once painted white, and is now painted a blue/grey. The removal of that paint to restore the original old brick texture would drastically deteriorate and deface the old brick. To this date, not one individual in the Wright family has ever applied for or had an interest in an Historic classification for the home in question; nor has any other individual, group, or historic preservation organization ever applied for such a classification. In the Fall of 1991, Dr. Henry Pond attempted to have this property rezoned from R-2-10 to a modified commercial RM zone in order to set up a dental practice in the home. A meeting of the Millcreek Community Council was held on November 5, 1991 to discuss the proposal. Many people in the neighborllood attended this meeting and strenuously objected to having the property rezoned for a commercial venture. Dr. Pond's request for rezoning was subsequently rejected. Now, Dr. Pond, with apparently only his own personal agenda in mind, is attempting to have the property rezoned as an Historic site. We believe that his only intent and reason for requesting the rezoning to an Historic site is so he can use the home for a dental clinic facility. Dr. Pond has displayed a total disregard for the residents in this area. Page Two S. L. County Development Services Divn. April 6, 1992 We, as individuals, and as a group of concerned citizens in this neighborhood, will present to you as Board Members our legitimate reasons why this petition for rezoning should not be approved. We are looking forward to the meeting scheduled for April 14, 1992. Respectfully submitted on behalf of a majority of our neighborhood, by Richard K. Thomas 473 East 4300 South Salt Lake City, UT 84107 Phone [phone] P.S. I served on the Civic Belt Route Committee in the late 50's. My assignment was the task of taking an aerial survey. I have also worked with the Utah Heritage Foundation as a tour guide regarding historic facilities. April 4, 1992 Development Services Division 2001 So. State Street Salt Lake City, UT 84190-4050 Ladies/Gentlemen: We are in receipt of your notice advising that W. Henry Pond, D.M.C., P.C., has made application for a rezoning request on property located on the Northeast Comer of Doreen Street (500 East 4288 South). There have been two previous rezoning requests on this same property,and the neighborhood group successfully opposed and stopped these requests. We have reviewed County Zoning Chapter 1986, Historic Preservation, and all the additional uses this rezoning allows. We understand that Dr. Pond's primary reason for wanting to rezone and restore this property is to move his dental office into this building. Due to this being a residential neighborhood with public schools within two city blocks, and many of the main entries to the school having no sidewalks for use by children or adults, we are most concerned about the added traffic that would be generated by a business at this location. We are very opposed to any zoning changes on this property, and are hereby requesting that the Planning Commission vote AGAINST approval of this application on April 28, 1992. Respectfully submitted by a VERY, VERY concemed neighborhood in a primarily residential area, ADDRESS PHONE PHONE ADDRESS ;)0 ~ ~ 9&~J'""" ~i:2 - ( ~25- Z ·; 6:-67/37~)b&,~a3a 't3 -a .

Henry Pond 3950 South 700 East Suite 204 Salt Lake City, UT 84107 RE: 4288 South 500 East, Salt Lake County Dear Dr. Pond: We have reviewed the information on the William H. Hill(?) House at 4288 South 500 East. The house is a handsome Victorian Eclectic style building, apparently built in 1904. While the house is potentially eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, without a complete architectural context in Salt Lake County, listing would be a challenge. However, we definitely encourage its local recognition as a historic structure in Salt Lake County and its continued use and sensitive rehabilitation. From your description, the proposed re-use of this building as a dental office could help to ensure the building's long-term preservation. While different than the house's original use, the proposed re-use could be very compatible with the architecture of the house and comply with the Secretary of the Interior's Standard No.1 recommending a compatible use for rehabilitated historic structures. As you are aware, there is a 10% federal investment tax credit available for the substantial rehabilitation of historic (but not listed) structures used for non-residential functions. We hope that you ,will be able to utilize this preservation incentive. Best of luck in your planning for this project.
