'!he brick section was built c.1889 and has a central hall plan, a very unusual feature in Beaver, especially for a I! story house. Only the Fernly House (structure/site form BV-04-338) at 215 East 200 North, has a central hall plan with less than a 2-story height. On the front facade, there are 4 windows and a central door on the ground floor, while upstairs there are 3 · cornice-line dormer windows. All eight piercings are located with bilateral symmetry. '!he brickwork is COlIlIDn bond and the decorative brick above the openings on the ground floor create a voussoir/pendant notif. '!here is a broad cornice around the eaves which is interrupted only by the donner windows. '!he home rests upon a black, nibble rock foundation and on the west end there is a large, rectangular bay wincbw. '!here is a log cabin on the N. W. corner of the brick house that was built c. 1860, some 29 years earlier than the brick house under discussion . However, it has been completely altered, both on the interior & the exterior and is thus unrecognizable as a log : cabin at all. A rrodern frame addition has been built on the rear but is fortunately not highly visible from the front facade. Statement of Historical Significance: >- a: ol- (/) I Construction Date: '!he brick portion of the house was built for Andrew Morn;:; who was born in Manchester England, in 1854. His rmther converted to the L.D.S. religion while her husband did not. She took the infant Andrew, when he was 7 nonths old, and set sail for Arrerica and Utah. Leaving behind forever her husband and two young children. She settled in Beaver when it was first settled in 1856 and after re-marrying, raised another family. She had the cabin on the property, that is now attached to the brick house, built c. 1860. Nearly 30 years later, Andrew was responsible for having the brick house built. He was the local sheriff at that time and apparently used the labor of some of the prisoners to help with the home's construction. '!he home is significant because of its nostly unimpaired architectural integrity, its Second Empire Style and its unusual central hall plan. 'I\vo of the windows were bricked up on the ground floor approximately 15 years ago when two premature twins were born to the ~brris family. '!he doctor reconmended that they be taken to a dark, warm room until their weight came up to normal, so their father, Ray },brris, filled two of the windows in. 'The home has always been in the 1brris family. UTAH, Beaver County, Beaver, Morris, Andrew James, House (Beaver MRA), 110 N. 400 East .

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 properti es: -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. State History Board: Delio G. Dayton Milton C. Abrams, Chairman • Theron H. Luke • • Wayne K . Hinton • Helen Z. Papanikolas • Ted J. Warner • Elizabeth Montague • ThomasG. Alexander David S Monson • Elizabeth Gnfflih • 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 1ike to send you an 1111 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.

One of the ammendments formalized a procedure that had already been in effect here in Utah--providing the owners of properties under consideration for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places, the oppor tunity to object to the lis t in g. Your property, at 110 North 400 East , has been recommended for nomination. I f listed in the National Register of Historic Places there are no restrictions placed on you as a property o~mer. 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 identify those buildings, houses and sites and structures, which help us understand tile past history and development of communities, the state, or the nation. There are some tax benefits for rehabilitation \'Iork on commercial buildings and one tax penalty if you demolish a listed building . The lax 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 O\'mer 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 wi l l not be listed in the Register and only a determination of t he prope rty's eligibility for the National Register will be made. The notarized statement objecting to the nomination must be submitted before r4ay 1st of this year at which time the nomination wi 11 be fon/arded to the Na ti ona 1 Reg; ster Off; ce for fi na 1 action. We 'IlOuld also appreciate any letters in support of the nomination of your property. I 'Itill be in Beaver on Tuesday ~1arch 16th at the Beaver County Courthouse in the Commi sion Chambers from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. to anS\'1er any quest; ons about the nOfil; nat; on and any ot her questions you may have.

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 ar~h)tectural 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 pr-operty. 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 with me so that you can see the format_ for the Beaver pub1 ication 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 wi th th i s being a prob1 em. It is always a pl easure for me to be in Beaver--your community is unique in the state and your efforts at preserv; ng the hi stori cal resources of your conulluni ty wi 11 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.
