Pace Frontage Rd George Milton Pace homesteaded the Silver Creek Junction area in 1863. He had established a large dairy herd and beef and sheep operation in the Bountiful area, but it became apparent to him that the area would soon be crowded and water in short supply. He traveled to the Snyderville area but by the 1860s it was well populated so he continued five miles to the east. Here he established a large operation, eventually selling milk, butter, cheese and meat products to grocery stores and individual homes in Park City30. Though George had seventeen children, three sons inherited the ranch when he died in 1897. Alma Pace took over the land east of the Union Pacific Echo and Park City railroad track. To modernize the dairy operations, Alma built a large new barn in 1936. 31 Designed to use gravity and the slope of the foothills, Alma spent 5 years constructing the very large hay barn with an unloading chute at the top and hay storage, feeding mangers and animal stalls on the ground level. It didn't work properly with hay stacking up inside the unloading chute instead of falling to the ground. He only used it for 10 years and it has remained empty since. The operations have been carried on since Alma's death in 1976, by his son Stanley. 32 The milking house with its concrete block walls, metal roof and aluminum sliding windows was built in 1953. The entire complex is evaluated "A" in the survey as a significant site. Though the stables and shops are gone, the site still represents the "improvement era" of the 1920s-1950s in dairy farming. 30 Oral History interview with Angus Pace, September 28, 1999. 31 Summit County tax assessment card SS-22 1969 32 Interview with Angus Pace, February 2001.

Box 128 Coalville, UT 84017 Dear Ms. Morrison: I am writing in response to your request for our opinion on the eligibility of two properties in Summit County for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The properties in question are the W.W. Snyder Residence and Ranch, located at 4395 Highway 224, and Pace Dairy, located at the end of the North Pace Frontage Road . • The Snyder House, in its current condition, would not be considered eligible. However, if the later additions were removed and the alterations were reversed the house would probably be eligible as one of the few remaining houses of this era and type in the Snyderville Basin. The Pace Dairy appears to be eligible for the National Register. The two extant buildings, the barn and the milk house, constitute what is probably one of the few remaining dairy complexes in this part of the county. The barn is very unique as a variant of the "bank barn" type that is found in various locations throughout the state. The free-standing milkhouse represents the influence of ever-demand ing sanitation standards imposed on dairies in the early twentieth century, the "improvement era" of dairies both in Utah and nationally. Though the milkhouse is not yet 50 years old, it is very close to that age and would be considered a contributing building in the complex . .-J' ' Please let me know if you have further questions about our assessments of these properties. ~ ROgerRoJ Historic Preservation Coordinator Preserving and Sharing Utah 's Past for the Present and Future Pace, Dairy N.
