() ....LU 6 >c: o IfIl X Building Materials: frame & siding , Building Type/Style: Description of physical appearance & significant architectural features: (Include additions, alterations, ancillary structures, and landscaping if applicable) The horne was originally a log house that was built after Beaver had acquired its first sawmill as the logs are mill cut. The log portion of the house can be seen from the west side. Here the notching is visible, and it is also apparent that an original door has been boarded up. Circa 1900, a large addition was constructed to the north and all but the west side of the house was sheathed in narrow wood siding. The doors and windows on the log cabin portion of the house display wooden pediments above them while those of the newer section are quite plain. The horne rests upon a rubble rock foundation and has a steeply pitched roof that was only used as an attic. Statement of Historical SigniJicance: o Aboriginal Americans o Communication o o o o Agriculture Architecture The Arts Commerce o o o o Conservation Education Exploration/Settlement Industry o o o o o Military Mining Minority Groups Political Recreation o o o o Religion Science Socio-Humanitarian Transportation The horne is significant because it is a visible example of how a 'log house was incorporated into a more elaborate structure at a later date when the family acquired more prosoperity. The addition and the remodeling, done c.1900, are interesting because there are few extant houses in Beaver today that employ this style of architecture. Its l~ story height and narrow ,vood siding are somewhat rare for historic buildings in Beaver as wood homes from the 19th century deteriorated and were apparently frequently razed or radically altered. ~ lJ\ ~ February 23, 1982 Arlo Fox Beaver, Utah 84713 scan M.

UTAH 84101 TELEPHONE 001 / 533'5755 Dear Mr. Fox: Shortly after completion of the review meetin gs and cormnent dead1 ines for consideration of the nomination of t hose bufldings in Beaver ~mich appear eligible for listing i n the National Register of Historic places, Congress passed ammendments to the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. One of the ammendments formal ized a procedure that had al ready been in effect here in Utah--providing the owners of properties under consideration for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places, the opportunity to object to the 1 i s ti n9 . Your property, at 295 North 300 East, has been recommended for nomination. 1f li sted in the National Register of Historic Places there are no restrictions placed on you as a property owner. You are still able to sell, renovate, demolish or alter your property just the same as if it were not listed in the National Register. The purpose of the listing is to document and i denti fy those buil di ngs, houses and si tes and structures, which hel p us understand the past history and dev elopment of communities, the state, or the nation. There are some tax benefits for rehabilitation work on commercial bu i ldings and one tax penalty if you demolish a listed building , The tax penalty is that you are not able to write off as an allowable expense the demolition costs. If you wish to object to the listing of your property in the National Register you must submit to us a notarized statement that you are the owner of the property and that you object to its listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The notarized letter will insure that your property will not be 1 i sted in the Regi ster and only a determination of the property's eligibility for the National Register will be made. The notarized statement objecti ng to the nominati on must be submitted before May 1st of this year at which time the nomination will be forwarded to the National Register Office for final action. We would also appreciate any letters in support of the nomination of your property. I will be in Beaver on Tuesday Mal~ch 16th at the Beaver County Courthouse in the Commi sian Chambers from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. to answer any questions about the nomination and any other questions you may have. State History Board: Milton C. Abrams. Chairman • Theron H. Luke • Ted J Warner • Elizabeth Montague • ThomasG. Alexander Delio G. Dayton • Wayne K. Hinton • Helen Z. Papanikolas • David S Monson • Elizabeth Griffith • William D. Owens One final note, the Utah State Historical Society has received funds to publish the study of Beaver compiled by linda Bonar which led to this nomination of Beaver's historic properties. The publication is patterned after a book published in 1980, The Avenues of Salt lake City~ which has been received with great enthusiasm by residents of the Avenues and others interested in Utah history. The publication on Beaver will include an historical overview, section on Beaver's architectural history, and a photograph and short history of each of the historic buildings in the community. I am enclosing a copy of the structure/site information form which will be used in preparing the history of your property. Please read it and if you have any additional information or corrections please send them to me, or stop by the courthouse on March 16th. I will have a copy of the Avenues book wi th me so that you can see the format fOr the Beaver publication which we hope to have out the end of this year or early in 1983. Inclusion of your property in the National Register or in the proposed publication does not mean that tourists and visitors have any right to tour your house or trespass on your property. We have not had reports with this being a problem. It is always a p1 easure for me to be in Beaver~-your community is unique in the state and your efforts at preserving the historical resources of your community will be greatly appreciated by future generations. : Please send any comments to me at the Utah State Historical Society, 300 Rio Grande, Salt lake City, Utah, 84101, or call me at 533-6017. If you are in Salt lake City please stop by our offices in the Denver and Ri _~Grande Rail road Depot loacted at 450 West on 300 South. ---- S~2t2{1 A.

SMITH , DIRECTOR 300 RIO GRAND: SALT LAKE CITY. UTAH 8-' 101 TELEPHONE [phone] Dear Mr. Fox: It is my distinct pleasure to inform you that on September 9, 1982 the William Barton House at 295 North 300 East, nominated by the Historic and Cultural Sites Review Committee and the Utah State Historic Preservation Officer, was officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places by the National Park Service and Ms. Carol Shull, Acting Keeper of the National Register. The National Register of Historic places is the official list of historic properties recognized by the Federal Government as worthy of preservation for their significance in American history, architecture, archeology, engineering and culture. Located in the National Park Service, Department of the Interior, the program is part of a national policy to coordinate and support public and private efforts to identify, evaluate, and protect our cultural and natural resources, and is maintained by the Secretary of the Interior under provisions of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. Listing in the National Register provides the following benefits to historic properties: -Consideration in the planning for federally assisted projects. Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 provides that the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation be given an opportunity to comment on projects affecting such properties. -Eligibility for Federal tax benefits for rehabilitations of certain historic commercial, industrial and residential rental buildings. -Consideration of historic values in the decision to issue a surface coal mining permit where coal is located, in accord with the Surface Mining and Control Act of 1977.

Monson • Ehzabelh G"I/itn • William D. Owens -Qualification for Federal grants for historic preservation when funds are available. Listing does not mean that the Federal Government wants to acquire the property, place restrictive convenants on the land, or dictate the color or materials used on individual buildings. State and local ordinances or laws establishing restrictive zoning, special design review committees, or review of exterior alterations, are not a part of the National Register program and should be clearly separated from the function of the National Register as a tool in the Federal planning process. We would like to send you an 1,.. x 1111 parchment certificate with the gold seal of Utah. It contains the name of the site, the nature of its significance, the date of listing, and the signatures of Governor Matheson, Milton Abrams, Chairman of the Historic and Cultural Sites Review Committee, and Melvin T. Smith, Director of the Utah State Historical Society and Utah's State Historic Preservation Officer. There is no charge. If you would like the certificate, please let us know by mail or call 533-6017. Our congratulations on the honor given you and the State of Utah. Sincerely, /f£d~V~~~ Melvin T.
