DIRECTOR JOO RIO GRANDE SAlT LAKE CITY. UTAH 84101 TELEPHONE [phone]-~ 755 Dear Ms. Huntington: Shortly after completion of the review meetings and comment deadlines for consideration of the nomination of those buildings in Beaver which appear eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic places, Congress passed ammendments to the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. 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 opportunity to object to the listing. Your property, at 50 West 200 Nortb, has been recommended for nomination. If listed 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 identify 'those buildings, houses and sites and structures, which help us understand the past history and development of communities, the state, or the nation. There are some tax benefits for rehabilitation work on cormnercial buildings and one tax penalty if you demolish a listed building. The ta'x penalty is that you are not able to write off as an allo\'table 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 listed in the Register and only a determination of the property's eligibility for the National Register will be made. The notarized statement objecting to the nomination must be submitted before May 1st of this year at \'/hich time the nomination will be forwarded to the National Register Office for final action. We would also appreciate any 1etters in support of the nomination of your property. I will be in Beaver on Tuesday March 16th at the Beaver County Courthouse in the Commision 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.

Dayton • Wayne K Hinton • Helen Z Papanikolas • David S Monson • ElIzabeth G" Uith • 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 hi story of each of the hi storic buildings in the community. I am enclosing a copy of the structure/site information fonm which will be used in preparing the history of your property. Please read it and if you have any additional infonmation 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 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 pleasure 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 10acted at 450 West on 300 South.

The narrow end of the building faces the street, and the flat roof receeds in steps. The front facade displays ashlar pink rock, with recessed mortar joints and near the top of the facade the stonework is indented so that it could bear the shops sign (the sign is no longer extant). The rest of the building's stone work is rough cut and crude. There is a black rubble stone foundation, and unfortunately the entire structure has been painted white. The current owners also added a brick section to the east, and for a time used the building as a commercial property. Surrounding the lot is a cast iron fence with green granite gate and corner posts.

Also important are the structures historic date and its stone construction materials. Mr. & Mrs. James Boyter sold their stone cutting shop to their son Henry in 1929 and Henry continued to carve monuments there for a time. James Boyter was a Scotsman who sometimes helped his older brother Alexander in thi construction industry in Beaver. The Boyter Brothers worked simarily with the pink stone (tuff) and brick and the James Boyter House is one of the finest examples of their work. James was a sculptor of considerable talent and earned a living carving headstones for the cemetaries in Beaver County. He made extensive use of a white marble with faint blue veins that was imported from Newhouse, a mining town in Western Beaver County. This marble does not take a high polish, but Boyter's work is nonetheless marvelous. Each monument is unique, though he was fond of using a lamb as a symbol on top of many of his headstonos. He gave life in stone to such things as lillies, a tree-stump, rich fabrics and braids and each headstone is a work of art in and of itself. He frequently signed his work, but his style of sculpting is instantly recognizable even without his signature. His home from the outside is very similar to Thomas Frazer's work (Frazer was an earlier Scots mason who was quite active in Beaver). The differences lie . in the treatment of the brick work, the three dormer windows, the floor plan and the chimney placements. , According to Deed Record Book~Z-4, p.455, Jane and James Boyter sold the ~ property to their son Henry for $1000 on Aprll ' 13, 1929.
