Additional structures were likely located on the site at one time, but have since been removed. Architectural Description Residence The residence on the property, built in 1907 and 1908, is a one and one-half story Victorian eclectic rectangular block structure that measures approximately 8.5 m long by 12.5 m wide (28-by-41 ft) (WCA 1973g; see Appendix B, Figures 36-41). It rests on a poured concrete foundation and is covered with aluminum siding which simulates clapboard. The roof is covered with asphalt shingles and, at one time, had a single fired brick chimney near the crest of the roof. The front of the house has a projecting gable roof section and a poured concrete porch landing with a modest hipped roof cover supported by wooden turned spindles. The front of the house has Chicago style windows under the porch roof and a single pane fixed-sash window in the projecting gable end. The single-pane window is a more modem one, though possibly inperiod. The upper half-story of the front contains a pair of narrow wooden framed one-over-one double-hung windows. Other portions of the house include a single wooden framed one-over-one double-hung window on the west side and two two-light sliders on the east side of the house. A wooden paneled rear door is located on the west side of the house. A large shed roof addition has been built onto the rear of the house. The residence's living area is contained on both floors of the building. The main floor contains a kitchen, pantry, laundry room, entry, bathroom, living room, and two bedrooms. The upstairs living area has one full size bedroom, an un-railed landing by the stairwell, and a small bedroom/sitting room. Outbuildings The two outbuildings on the property consist of a wooden frame single-car garage with an attached frame shed. The garage, which measures 2.4 m wide by 6.1 m deep (12-by-20 ft) is a front gable roof, novelty-sided structure with an eight pane fixed sash window on the west side and vertical plank-sided swinging side hinged doors on the front. A small shed roof addition has been built onto the rear of the garage. The storage shed is also a novelty sided structure and measures 3.7 m wide by 2.4 m deep (12-by-8 ft). 24 Property History As noted, the residence at 2492 West 5600 South was built in 1907 and 1908 (WCA 1973g). At that time, the property was owned by Lorenzo and Polly Adaline Stoker who obtained it from Lorenzo's brother and sister-in-law, Jesse and Lettie M. Stoker earlier in 1907. There is good evidence that the home was constructed for Lorenzo and Polly Stoker as they took out over $6500 in mortgages at the time they received the property (WCR 1907b and 1911). The parcel of land purchased by the Stokers had changed ownership six times prior to their obtaining it, beginning with the original land patent from the United States to Jesse 1. Murphy in 1887 (WCR 1887). Lorenzo Stoker was born on February 21, 1867 in Bountiful, Utah, one of 14 children born to John and Jane Allen Stoker. When Lorenzo was 10 years old, his mother died. His father, who remarried shortly thereafter, died when Lorenzo was 14 (Russell 1979:45). His stepmother continued to care for the children. In the early 1880s, Lorenzo moved to Hooper where he met his future wife, Polly Adaline Hammon, daughter of Levi Byram and Martha Jane Belnap Hammon of Hooper (OSE 1920). Lorenzo and Polly were married on July 16, 1888 and together they had 11 children. Shortly after they were married, the couple moved to Preston, Idaho. While in Preston, their first child, Clarasa Jane, died and their second child, Leona Pearl was born. In 1892, the family returned to Utah, residing in Hooper. Four years later, in 1896, they moved to Roy where they rented a house on 6000 South (Russell 1979:37). In early 1901, Lorenzo and his younger brother Jesse, who had come to live with him when his step-mother died, purchased a large plot of land east of the Oregon Shortline Mainline on which they herded sheep and raised fruit and other produce. In July of that same year, Jesse married Lettie Matilda Stoker, the sister of Lorenzo's wife, Polly (Russell 1979:38). Several years later, in 1908 and 1909, Jesse and Lettie erected a home on the western portion of the larger parcel of jointly owned land (at 2422 West). Lorenzo and Polly, who had been renting a home, decided to build a new residence on the east end of the property (Russell 1979:38). This home, which was modified several times as the family increased in number, stands today at 2492 West. In the ensuing years, Lorenzo gave up the sheep business and went to work for Ogden banker A.P. Bigelow, who later built the Ben Lomond Hotel. Lorenzo Stoker died on June 9, 1920, from a "broken appendix" (OSE 1920). His wife, Polly, remained at the residence for another three years. In June 1923, she married William G. Clark(e) who had lived across the street from the Stokers for many years. One month later, on July 18, 1923, Polly Adaline Stoker-Clarke died of a liver ailment (SL T 1923). The property went into probate for two years before it was given to the Stoker's eldest son, Lorenzo Earl Stoker. In 1925, Lorenzo Earl deeded the home to his sister Leona Pearl James (Pearl) and his brother Jesse Lee Stoker. Pearl James and Jesse Lee Stoker kept the family home until 1943 when she sold it to Otta K. M. and Edna H. Seifart (WCR 1943b). It is unclear as to who lived in the home during 25 the interim. However, it is possible that Pearl James, who had been living in Evanston, Wyoming since her marriage, returned to Roy and resided in the home with her husband and children. The Seifarts, who had purchased the home in 1943, sold the property to Simon and Lavene Bosgeiter in 1947. Mrs. Bosgeiter died in 1959, and her husband and daughter sold the home to Frank and Lucianne Miller (WCR 1959a). The Millers retained the property for three years before selling it to the current owner/resident, Rudolpho Serrano (WCR 1962). No information could be obtained regarding the Serrano family. 2577 West 5600 South (SJ·221) The property includes a vernacular cross wing house, and a single car garage (see Appendix A, Index to Photographs). There are no other out buildings on the property. Architectural Description The single story residence on the property, built in 1941, is of a vernacular style crosswing house that measures 8.5 m wide across the front by 12.3 m deep (28-by-40.5 ft) (WCA 1973h; see Appendix B, Figures 42-48). The house rests on a poured concrete foundation and is completely covered with plaster. It bas a cross-gable roof and a smaller overhanging front gable over the front door and landing. The roof is covered with asphalt shingles. There is a hipped roof projecting bay on the west side of the house. It has two four-over· four double-hung windows on the sides and a single-pane fixed sash window on the west-facing wall of the bay. Other fenestration on the house includes a large single pane fixed sash window adjacent to the front door, at least four two-over·two double-hung windows with lug sills, and a single three-pane hopper window in the basement. The property's living area is contained on two floors. The main level has a Living room, kitchen, dining room, bathroom, and two bedrooms. The finished basement has two full bedrooms, one substandard bedroom, a kitchen, bathroom, and storage area. The garage, also built in 1941, is a front gable structure with horizontal plank siding and a wood shingle roof. It measures 3.7 m wide by 4.9 m deep (12.by-16ft). There are two swinging doors which are covered with novelty siding on the front of the structure. There are at least two windows in the structure including two single-pane fixed sash windows on the east side of the building. 26 INDEX TO PHOTOGRAPHS Rudolph Serrano Property 2492 West 5600 South Roy Weber County Utah Documentation: 10 photographs (1996) Michael R.
