The house at 57 Prospect Street as described in a 1984 National Register nomination form as follows: "This house is a two story rectangular building with a gable roof. It is a unique house type among Park City houses. It is reminiscent of shotgun house because it is oriented gable end to the street and has a side entrance. The Italianate bay may reflect the influence of the Italianate style as a source for decorative details in Park City houses. Because the house is set into the hillside, one story is set below the ground level, and the main floor is above it. A steep set of stairs leads to the front door above which is a small hip roof porch. The porch and door are flanked by the three part Italianate bay. Both the porch and bay reflect Italianate influences in scale and design. The porch has lathe turned piers and a straight post balustrade. The projecting bay is composed of double hung sash windows, has a cornice with modillions and decorative panels, and has a lower band of inset panels. A second entrance on the north wall opens into the lower level. A modem horizontal rectangular window was added below the projecting bay on the facade. That change, however, is minor and unobtrusive. Except for the window change, the building is unaltered and maintains its original character." The house is largely unchanged from the time of this description. The roof has been changed to a standing seam metal, but no other material or formal changes are present. The site slopes down parallel to the road, and stone retaining wall is present in the front yard to create two more level surfaces. The overall form and materiality of the building remains intact and the building retains its historic value.

The history of this house was written in the 1984 National Register nomination form as follows: "Built in 1891, the Joseph 1. Jenkins House at 57 Prospect is architecturally significant as a one of a kind house type in Park City. The majority of Park City houses were built as hall and parlor houses, TIL cottages, pyramid houses or variants of the pyramid house. Shotgun houses and bungalows occur in fewer numbers, but were also significant types. About 20% of the inperiod extant buildings in Park City, including 57 Prospect, did not specifically fit into anyone category or were altered so dramatically that the original type was not identifiable. The bay window and small porch superficially link this building with the Italianate style. The gable roofed form, however, is more like that of 1101 Norfolk, a house which, from the exterior, looks like a shotgun, but which in effect is only a square house with a gable roof. The house at 57 Prospect is a unique house that was created by combining popular Italianate decorative features with a more standard house form. This house documents the fact that although standard house types were the rule in Park City, exceptions to the standard types were also built. It is 1110 Park City Preservation Consulting, CRSAArchitecture one of only three well preserved examples of houses that are exceptions to the standard types, all of which are included in this nomination. This house was built in 1891 by Joseph J. and Sarah J. Jenkins. They had come to Park City from Virginia City, Nevada, where Joseph had worked in the Comstock Mine. In Park City he worked for many years as a miner for the Ontario Silver Mining Company, and from 1893 to 1897 served as assessor and collector for Summit County . The Jenkins sold this house in 1897 and moved to Salt Lake City, hopeful that Joseph's health would improve at that lower elevation. He died there at the age of 55 less than two years later, however, a victim of miner's consumption. Margaret Dalton (later Stevenson), who bought this house from the Jenkins in 1897, apparently rented it out, since she was not listed in the 1900 census records as a resident of a Prospect Street house. She sold the house in 1904 to Lena and John P. Allen, who had previously been renting a house adjacent to 36 Prospect. It is unknown how long the Allen's owned this house. John Murray bought the house at an unknown date and continued to own it past 1940." The transactions mentioned above did not appear on the most recently researched title history, and it is possible that they were completed off the books, which was not uncommon for this time in Park City. Further research has uncovered more information on John Murray, the last owner of the house during the historic period. He appears on the 1930 census, renting a different house on Prospect Avenue with his wife Inez. He worked as a machinist for a mine. By the time of the 1940 census, he owned and occupied this house with his wife and their two children. The house is currently owned by Kim and Margaret Marks.
