United States Department of the Interior National Park Service OMS No. 1024-0018, NPS Form National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section No. Z Page 1 Ogden , Weber County, UT Narrative Description The Hodgson House, built in 1913, is a 1 and Y:z story Arts and Crafts style bungalow with a modified rectangular floor plan. Its dominant feature is the wood shingle exterior, and it contains an extended wide front porch with a gabled roof. The house also has broad eaves and marvelous outrigger brackets. The home is in excellent condition and is one of the finest examples of the Arts and Crafts Bungalow in the district. United States Department of the Interior National Park Service OMB No. 1024-0018, NPS Fonn National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section No. §. Page 1 Ogden , Weber County, UT Narrative Statement of Significance Historical Significance In the early 1910s Leslie Hodgson moved his family to the home at 2255 Madison Avenue. According to his eldest daughter the home was not completely finished when the family first moved into the home, and for a time the family lived in the basement while painting was done and the floors were finished upstairs. Leslie S. Hodgson was a prominent and successful Ogden architect. His designs made a unique contribution to the character of Ogden City. During his forty year career he showed mastery of various architectural styles. He was a native of Salt Lake City, and was born 18 December 1879. His father, Oliver Hodgson, was born in Yorkshire , England and emigrated to Salt Lake City in 1866. Oliver was a leading builder in Salt Lake City and introduced his son to the trade. Leslie started out as a machinist and then studied architecture for five years as a draftsman in the offices of two of Utah's most well known architects, Samuel S. Dallas and Richard K.A. Kletting . In 1904 he received his architect's liscense and designed his first home. In 1906, after a short stay in San Diego, Mr.Hodgson moved to Ogden. He formed a partnership with J.A. Smith that lasted until 1910. Mr. Hodgson then went to work designing homes for the Eccles Subdivision, which is also in the East Central District. In 1920 Hodgson formed a new partnership with Myrl A. McClenahan. As partners, Hodgson and McClenahan produced some of Ogden's foremost architecture. Most notably the Egyptian Theater, Ogden Municipal Building, U.S. Forest Service Building , Ogden High School, and the Ben Lomond Hotel. It was this amiable partnership with Mr. McClenahan that one of the most offbeat business deals involving the home at 2255 Madison occurred. Around 1934 the Hodgson live-in family was dwindling and no longer needed their large house, while the McClenahans burgeoned beyond the confines of the modest cottage they had been living in at 1265 Marilyn Drive. So, in a master-stroke of pragmatism , the two families switched homes, and apparently everyone was pleased . The McClenahans owned the home until 1940, when William d'Orr Cozzens and his wife Harriet purchased the home. Mr. Cozzens was a graduate of Ogden High School and the University of Michigan, majoring in electronics. He was charter member of the Utah Society of Professional Engineers, and a member of the Institute Engineers. He was also the chief engineer for KLO Radio in Ogden for 16 years and also worked for KALL Radio in Salt Lake City. Errol C. and Catherine Crouch were the next primary owners of the home, they owned it from 1949 to the 1990s. Mr. Crouch was employed with the U.S. Forest Service many years.

Hodgson and Mc- Clenahsn personally selected the plscement of every single brick in the building, in order to achieve a basement-to-corilice,dark-to-light ombre shading, so subtle as to be perceptible only when pointed out from a block-away vantage point and re-examined close up (Slides 15 and 16).

IDO " ... e- LESLIE SIMMONS HODGSON Leslie Simmons Hodgson was one of the most prominent and successful Ogden architects. His designs made a unique contribution to the character of Ogden City. During his 40 year career he showed mastery of various architectural styles, such as Wrightian Prairie, classical revival , archaeologically authentic Egyptian, and art deco styles of architecture. Leslie Hodgson was a native son of Utah, born in Salt Lake City on December 18, 1879. His father, Oliver Hodgson, was both in 1851 in Yorkshire, England and emigrated to Salt Lake City in 1866. Oliver was a leading builder and contractor in Salt Lake City and introduced his son , Leslie, to the architectural trade. Three of his sons (Leslie, Fred and Paul) became architects. Hodgson started as a machinist (SLC Polk Directory, 1899) and then studied architecture for 5 years as a draftsman in the offices of two of Utah's most prominent architects, Samuel S. Dallas and Richard K.A. Kletting. In 1904, he received his architect's license and designed his first home. Hodgson gained valuable exposure to modern residential trends as chief draftsman for 9 months with the firm of Hebbard and Gill in San Diego, California. Irving Gill had worked in the Chicago office of Adler and Sullivan before moving to San Diego in 1893, and was undoubtedly acquainted with Frank Uoyd Wright who also had worked closely with Sullivan. In 1906, Hodgson returned to Ogden as his wife was in ill health(Le. allergies). He formed a partnership with Julius A. Smith of Ogden. Young Eber F. Piers later became a draftsman for the firm. The firm of Smith and Hodgson was very prOlific. During the initial year of Smith and Hodgson's existence, the firm published a book, Architecture of Ogden' J.A. Smith and Leslie S. Hodgson. Architects 1906-07. The partnership with Julius Smith dissolved in 1910 just as Eccles Subdivision began to materialize. Many of Hodgson's deSigns showed a flare for the Prairie Style. The common characteristics of his design of the Eccles homes were: 1 or 2 stories, brick or timber cornered with stucco, low pitch hip roof, large overhanging eaves, horizontal bands of windows, dark wood bands or strips, and casement type windows (leaded panes and geometric patterns). The Prairie Style residences designed by Hodgson in the Eccles Subdivision were those for James Canse (19914), John S. Houtz (1910), LeRoy Eccles, later Elijah A. Larkin Home (1911), LeRoy Eccles, later Weber Club (1917), William Wright (1911), Hugh M. Rowe (1911), and Patrick Healy, Jr. (project architect only, 1920). Hodgson formed a new partnership with Myrl A. McClenahan in 1920. As partners, Hodgson would do the design concept sketches for the new buildings and McClenahan would produce the detailed working drawings. It was during this partnership that much of Hodgson's finest works were developed. The most notable buildings these partners produced were the Egyptian Theater, the Ogden Municipal Building, Ogden High School, U.S. Forest Service Building, Ben Lomond Hotel, Patterson/Nye Building, Eccles Building, Becker Brewing and Malting Company Building, the buildings of the Union Stockyards (Coliseum, Exchange Building, Sheep Barn). Myrl McClenahan died in 1940, and Leslie Hodgson in 1947. ~ deSigned comfonably In several styles. He worked Westem Silck Style, Bungaloid and Art Deco designs. He was the ,:::::::~~trod':cing"';he 'Art Deco to the Intermountain region . His Ogden City Municipal Building, Ogden High School, Regional Forest Service Building, and Tribune Building remain the most significant monuments of the Art Deco Style in Utah. The Healy house on Eccles Avenue was a sensitive "Old English Cottage" design. _ aSiII I Rival Hodgson also employed the Prairie Style in religious and commercial buildings, the LOS Deaf Branch and Nye Building. As the official architect for the Ogden School Board and architect for federal agencies during World War II , as well as for the Eccles and Scowcroft families and the ir vast financial empires, Hodgson obtained the largest and most prestigious design commissions of his day. As a consequence, much of the modern appearance of Ogden and northern Utah may be attributed to this significant architect. EBER F. PIERS Eber Francis Piers was born in Denver, Colorado in 1889. Little is known of his early years, and only a glimpse of his formative years is recorded. As he approached his teens, it became apparent that he would not follow his father's trade (a seller of farm implements), but would choose to pursue the sciences and things electrical and mechanical, certain that his fascination with the marvels of a new technological age would lead to something . Although he tolerated formal schooling, he found pleasure in his own experimentation and investigation. In his teens, he assembled a wireless telegraph, engineered a steam engine, ground a lens for a reflecting telescope , and designed and built his own photographic laboratory. During his final year in high school, a course in mechanical drawing led to his first job in architecture. Ernst P. Varian (a Denver Architect of considerable prestige) had designed, among other buildings , the Denver Athletic Club, the First Church of Christ Scientist, and the Antlers Hotel in Colorado Springs. It is believed his office offered Piers his first employment as a draftsman. While at this work and during his subsequent employment in the office of Walter Ware , Piers studied and became familiar with the work of the Chicago School of Architects; namely Jenny, Sullivan , and Wright. These early impressions and his enthusiasm for these new architectural styles encouraged him to enroll in the School of Architectural Engineering at the University of Colorado . After a year of dissatisfaction and disillusionment in what he termed "second-rate exercises in Ecole des Beauz-Arts", Piers elected to leave the school for employment in Ogden , Utah (in 1908 at the age of 19). The firm of Smith & Hodgson needed a draftsman to complete the drawings for a new Ogden High School at 25th & Monroe (actually built at 28th Street and Harrison BOUlevard) . Piers accepted the job. At that time in Ogden, architecture was in its infancy. Afte r two years of employment, Piers left Smith & Hodgson and opened his own office. The growth of the Piers' office was not immediate; the work was sparse and commissions were small. One of his commission's was the Mrs. George E. Maule residence (no longer standing) . Built in 1911, this dwelling stood apart. It expressed a sympathy for its surroundings and filled the needs of its owner. This unadorned structure borrowed strength from those things "organ ic" much like the Prairie Style Houses of Frank Lloyd Wright. The wide protective eaves , the low horizontal lines, and the unbroken fenestration, lent a feeling of shelter and composure to the ~ous~. There was no need to plaster mongrel ornaments of a past era on ;1· ;1 h ~ " Identity and beauty. The plan was uninll o Th ~~ missinn .,~ ...
