Show United States Department of the Interior National Park Service I National Register of Historic Places Registration Form NPS Form 10-900 Erekson Artillo Dairy Farmhouse Name of Property OMB No. 1024-0018 Salt Lake County, Utah County and State Narrative Description The footprint of the original Victorian farmhouse as built in 1894 is roughly 32 by 32 feet square with projections on the west, north, and south elevations. The primary elevation faces west. The foundation is constructed of large rock-faced granite blocks laid in coursed ashlar with rope mortar joints. The yellow brick masonry is laid in running bond with pink-colored flush joints. The roof is a series of interconnecting gables typical of the central-block-with-projecting-bays house type. In the 1950s, the roof was sheathed in bartile, which is still in good condition . The fa~de (west elevation) is divided visually in half with the projecting wing to the south and the front porch to the north. A concrete deck and steps was installed in the 1950s or 1960s. There are three corbelled brick courses above the foundation. In 2013, the porch's lathe-turned columns with decorative brackets and frieze had to be partially rebuilt due to deterioration, but the replacement elements match the originals. The half-glass carved wood front door is original, but the glass and the transom were replaced with bottle (or bull's eye) glass in 1963. The focal point of the octagonal bay is the fixed-frame window with a semi-circle transom. The segmental-arched drip molding features soldier bricks and stone impost blocks. The flanking windows on the bay are also fixed frame with transoms. All the transoms were replaced with bottle glass in 1963. The gable trim of the projecting wing is octagonal wood shingles. There is a small aluminum sliding window in the gable (1963). Above the front door is a hipped roof narrow dormer sheathed in square-butt shingles. The Single-frame window is in a wood sash. On the south elevation, the original brick chimney with corbelled top can be seen above the roof line; however, below the roof line the chimney was rebuilt in 1963 as a wide cobble-stone faced stack. The stack includes an exterior storage compartment for logs. The south facing projection is toward the rear. The bay is similar to the front bay except all of the windows have flat rock-faced stone lintels. The gable trim and attic window are identical to the front gable. On the north elevation, the projecting wing is toward the front of the house. This bay features an octagonal roof. All of the main level windows are narrow and double-hung. There is a small hipped-roof shingled dormer with an aluminum slider east of the projecting bay. On the rear (east) elevation, the central portion of the original house is visible. The brick has been painted green. The back door is flanked by two-aluminum sliding windows with concrete sills. There is a flat porch roof on pipe supports. The back stoop is concrete with curved steps (1963). Above the porch are a third narrow dormer and another brick chimney. The wood trim and other accent elements have been painted red on all four elevations. In 1963, two brick additions were made to the rear of the house. At the southeast corner, an enclosed porch was redesigned as a family room . The addition was built on a granite-faced foundation. The addition features half-height walls with yellow brick similar to the original masonry. Above the brick walls are banks aluminum sash windows between wood mullions. The continuous concrete sill is painted red . The addition has a front door facing west with a concrete stoop and curved steps (also painted red). There is a secondary door and curved stoop facing east. The addition at the northeast corner was designed as a bedroom wing of the same materials. There is a back door and concrete stoop facing east. The roof of the addition is nearly flat with distinctive wide eaves. Section 7 page 5 |
