Statement of Historic Contexts This Multiple Property Documentation Form addresses the Settlement Era buildings of Farmington, Davis County, Utah. The period of significance or, rather, the period applicable to the Multiple Property Submission (MPS), is 1847 to 1896. The proximal date (1847) marks the year of first documented settlement by non-indigenous people at the future site of the community. The terminal date (1896) marks the year the Lagoon Amusement Park, a major economic driver in the community that helped shift the area from one almost solely dependent on agriculture to an entertainment destination, was established. It also roughly coincides with the incorporation of Farmington as a city. The historic context presented below was adapted from the historical narrative established in the Farmington Main Street National Register Historic District (NRIS # 11000756) registration form prepared by Beatrice Lufkin in 2011. 1 Settlement Era, 1847 to 1896 The first documented settlement in Farmington by non-native peoples occurred in 1847, shortly after pioneers from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (hereafter referred to as LDS 2) arrived in Salt Lake City. Hector Haight, known as the “Father of Farmington,” was directed by church leadership to winter cattle herds in the area in 1847-8, and a handful of other families soon headed to the area to establish a permanent settlement. These families built small cabins and dugouts using locally available materials—mostly stone and logs—and took up residency near reliable freshwater sources emanating from the canyons nearby. The fledgling community was known briefly as North Cottonwood and then as Miller’s Settlement in 1849 after Daniel A. Miller plowed the first field in the area. 3 In 1852, the territorial legislature formed Davis County and designated the settlement as the county seat, renaming it to Farmington in honor of the fertile agricultural land in the area. 4 The town was formally platted in 1853 using the Plat of the City of Zion—a planning design created by Joseph Smith, founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—to establish the street grid and lot and block sizes within what is now the core area of the community. A wagon road connecting larger settlements of Salt Lake City on the south and Ogden on the north ran through Farmington. Between 1845 and 1855, a county courthouse was constructed in Farmington. Built of adobe, the courthouse served a variety of functions, including both civic/legal functions and religious ones Lufkin, Beatrice. 2011. National Register of Historic Places Registration Form for the Farmington Main Street Historic District (NRIS #11000756). On file at the Utah State Historic Preservation Office, Salt Lake City. 2 The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has officially identified use of the full and formal name of the church as their preferred reference as opposed to common short-hand references, such as LDS or Mormon. While no disrespect is intended, this document uses the term “LDS” solely for the purpose of brevity when referring to members of the religion. The full name of the institution is used when referring to the formal church organization. 3 Van Cott, John W. 1990. Utah Place Names.

In response to the growing turmoil, Brigham Young, then President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, directed congregants in the territory to fortify their settlements for protection. Across the region, including in Farmington, settlers built forts, which often were little more than thick tall walls around core settlement areas. The fortification in Farmington created an L-shaped enclosure “two blocks wide, covering Main and 100 East Streets, extending from almost 100 South to 500 North with an extension to the west along what is now State Street.” 6 Residential settlement patterns in Farmington during the period reflected the then-current practice of polygamy among LDS pioneers. 7 Typically the LDS patriarch built nearby houses for his several wives and offspring. A number of polygamous family groups built dwellings and lived along the Main Street area. The nearby Clark Lane Historic District (NR# 94001208) on State Street is an example of this settlement pattern, housing several generations of the Ezra T. Clark family. Joseph Lee Robinson was one of the first settlers in Farmington with his families, and a number of Robinson family houses were built on or near 100 North Street. John W. Hess and his first wife, Emeline, settled in Farmington where Hess became a civic and religious leader of the community as well as in the territorial legislature. He married seven women between 1845 and1875 and sired 66 children in the practice of polygamy. 8 Three houses that he built for his wives and families are still present along Main Street in Farmington. His fourth wife, Mary Ann Steed, whom he married in 1857, lived at 479 North Main Street, while Caroline K. Workman Hess, married in 1862, lived nearby at 488 North Main Street. Francis Marion Bigler, whom Hess married in 1875 as his sixth wife, lived at 445 North Main Street. The earliest dwellings in Farmington, which were simple dugouts and cabins during the first several years of settlement, gave way to more substantial and permanent structures as the community established its permanence. Small hall-parlors and single-cell dwellings were constructed throughout the period with larger types such as crosswings and double cells appearing as the community gained wealth and improved access to more durable construction materials towards the end of the Settlement Era. Vernacular Classical architectural styles dominated the built environment during the Settlement Era with Victorian styles and types growing in popularity at the end of the era. Churches often were among the first public buildings constructed in Utah’s pioneer settlements. The first church services in Farmington were held in homes. A log school building was soon constructed and served as religious meetinghouse in additional to an educational facility. When the county courthouse was completed in 1855, rooms on the second story reportedly hosted LDS congregants. 9 By Early pioneer settlements in Utah were almost exclusively, if not entirely, populated by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Being a territory and not a state at the time, the settlements did not follow laws regarding the separation of church and state and often used public buildings, including those designated for governmental functions, for religious activities. 6 Lufkin, 2011. 7 Ibid. 8 Ibid. 9 Ibid. 5 NPS Form 10-900-b United States Department of the Interior National Park Service OMB No. 1024-0018 Settlement Era Buildings of Farmington, 1847 to 1896 Davis County, Utah Section E Page 6 1879, Farmington boasted 133 residents. Of these, 81 or 61-percent noted their occupation in census records as farmer. As the population of the community grew, the space available in “double-duty” buildings proved inadequate. Construction began in1862 on a purpose-built church building. Constructed of local fieldstone and adorned with elements of Classical style, the building became known colloquially as the Farmington Rock Chapel. Reuben Broadbent is said to have designed the building and supervised its construction. The chapel, which is still standing, is one of the oldest continuously used meetinghouses in the state. It is also renowned as the site where Aurelia Spencer Rogers established Primary, the official auxiliary organization for the children of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in 1878. She began by meeting with local children in the chapel and by 1880 the Primary program was adopted church-wide as the official auxiliary for children. The impending completion of the Transcontinental Railroad in 1869 at Promontory Point well north of Farmington was a pivotal moment in Utah’s history and one that forever changed the nature of the state. The railroad offered access to outside markets for locally produced goods, afforded opportunities for the importation of goods not otherwise available locally, and allowed passengers from across the country to access the western frontier of the nation. As the railroad was nearing completion, Utahbased business and governmental leaders embarked upon efforts to connect the major northern Utah settlements, especially those along the Wasatch Front, to the national rail line. Chief among these efforts was the creation of the Utah Central Railroad by Brigham Young. This railroad eventually extended from Ogden, which was connected to the Transcontinental Railroad by other rail lines, to Salt Lake City. The line was completed between Ogden and Farmington by early December 1869. 10 The Utah Central Railroad later merged with other locally built lines, including the Utah Southern Railroad, to become the Utah Central Railway, a subsidiary of the Union Pacific Railroad. This combined line extended south into Utah County. Later, it was incorporated into the Union Pacific’s San Pedro, Los Angeles, and Salt Lake Railroad, which connected the Wasatch Front to southern California. Products from the local orchards such as cherries, peaches, plums, apricots, pears and apples were shipped by rail to the outside markets made accessible through the railroad network. Merchants and commercial institutions in town increased following the agricultural success of the surrounding farms in the face of increased access to outside markets. In 1891 the Farmington Commercial and Manufacturing Company (FC&M) opened for business in its two-story building at the corner of State and Main Streets. This became the center of a commercial district with offices and stores housed in Victorian Eclectic style buildings. 11 FC&M carried many products useful in a growing community including lumber, nails fresh meats, hardware, and shoes. A group of local merchants organized and formed the Davis County Bank the same year, and it was housed in a room in the new FC&M building. The two-part block Victorian Eclectic building was expanded several times, including to accommodate offices for the American Telegraph & Telephone Company. Strack, Don. 2022.

In 1892, with a population of 1,180, the town of Farmington incorporated as a city. 12 The population would shrink slightly by 1900s, possibly due to severe drought in the area during the late-1890s, but rebounded over the following decade. During the railroad building boom, Simon Bamberger arrived to leave his indelible mark on Farmington. Bamberger, a Jewish immigrant from Germany, had emigrated with his family to the United States as a young teenager. Arriving first in New York, the family soon headed for Cincinnati, Ohio, which had a large German population at the time. Ultimately he ended up in Indiana where he stayed into his young adulthood before moving to Missouri and starting a clothing manufacturing company with his brother. This appears to have been one of the first in a long line of business ventures in which Bamberger engaged, though it was one of his few unsuccessful ones. When the garment business failed during the late-1860s, Bamberger made his way to Utah, where he became an incredibly successful businessman and politician. While dabbling in hotel ownership and mining, Bamberger’s greatest business success came in the railroad industry. In 1891, Bamberger formed the Great Salt Lake & Hot Springs Railway, which provided passenger service from Salt Lake City to Becks Hot Springs north of the city. Over the next several years, he extended the line northward, reaching Farmington in 1895. Bamberger had attempted to create a recreational resort, known as the Lake Park Bathing Resort, on the shore of the Great Salt Lake west of Farmington in 1886, the resort had failed due to declining water levels in the lake. To incentivize passenger travel on his newly completed rail line, Bamberger purchased a patch of land just north of the Farmington settlement and created a lake for boating, picnic grounds, and a dance pavilion in 1896. This facility was named The Lagoon and soon grew into the popular amusement park that still operates today. The establishment of Lagoon put Farmington on the map in a way it had never existed before. The community became a destination for locals and travelers alike and boosted the local economy from that of a sleepy agricultural town to a burgeoning entertainment hot spot. On July 4th of the following year (1897), nearly 7,000 people purchased train tickets from Salt Lake City to Farmington to spend Independence Day at Lagoon. 13 The end of the Settlement Era of Farmington was marked by three major events: the incorporation of the community as a city in 1892, the opening of the Lagoon Amusement Park at its current location in 1896, and the bestowment of statehood on the Utah Territory, also in 1896. These three events contributed to a new era of community planning and development, economic prosperity and market sector dependence, and integration of the once pioneer outpost into the larger national economy and political sphere. The years that followed introduced more concerted city planning ideas and integrated communal infrastructure, different building materials and architectural styles, and different demographics to the community. As these changes occurred, much of Farmington’s settlement era built environment succumbed to “modernization” efforts. That which remains may be limited in number but remains powerful in evoking this important era in the community’s history.

Associated Property Types The property types associated with the theme of the MPS were identified from existing data gathered during prior reconnaissance-level architectural resource surveys conducted within the Farmington community and unassociated with the preparation of this nomination. It is important to note that additional properties fitting the theme of the MPS may be present within the municipal boundary but not yet identified through formal surveys. The prior reconnaissance-level surveys from which were derived the data used to prepare this MPS occurred in 1986, 2002, 2005, 2010, and 2017. The 2010 survey appears to have been the most extensive. See Section H, below, for specific data derived from the previous surveys. Collectively, the prior reconnaissance-level surveys encompassed most of the historical core area of Farmington, which is located east of Interstate 15 along the foothills of the Wasatch Mountains. No comprehensive architectural resource surveys have been carried out in the western part of the municipal boundary. The area east of the interstate includes the bulk of Farmington’s non-farm residential development, the primary commercial district, and the public and religious center of the community, while the area west of the interstate included the less populated agricultural area of Farmington. Given these differences in land uses and development and the previous focus of largescale architectural resource surveys east of Interstate 15, the bulk of the data about property types dating to the period of significance for the MPS comes from the residential, commercial, and residential core area of the community. That said, this MPS accounts for agricultural buildings that may be present elsewhere in the community but have yet to be identified and documented. With this in mind, four property types are associated with this MPS—residential buildings, agricultural outbuildings, religious and public buildings, and commercial buildings. Of these, residential buildings are by far the most numerous among the properties known to date to the period of significance for the MPS. All four property types are discussed below with regard to their physical nature, historical significance, and registration criteria. Note that the registration criteria discussed below do not supersede listing restrictions and criteria considerations set forth by the National Park Service for the listing of resources on the National Register. 1. Property Type: Residential Buildings a. Description: Residential buildings are defined for the purpose of this MPS as any building designed, constructed, and used primarily as a dwelling for one or more families. This includes dwellings that were constructed and originally used during the relevant period but later converted to commercial use. Residential buildings in Farmington that date to the Settlement Era are substantially similar to those found in other LDS villages throughout the Intermountain region. They reflect the full range of architectural types and styles of dwellings found across Utah at the time. Among these are single cell, hall-parlor, crosswing (T-, L-, and H-cottage forms), central passage, and double pile forms. Hall-Parlor and crosswing forms are the most common. Other residential forms that do not fit into definable architectural types but reflect NPS Form 10-900-b United States Department of the Interior National Park Service OMB No. 1024-0018 Settlement Era Buildings of Farmington, 1847 to 1896 Davis County, Utah Section F Page 9 vernacular frontier construction also are common. Extant but less common forms including temple form and central-block-with-projecting-bays types. Most of the dwellings are singlestory structures, though a few 1.5- and 2-story forms are known. Given the period of construction, it is not surprising to find that the most common architectural styles applied to these dwellings were vernacular Classical and Greek Revival styles and muted Victorian styles (mostly classifiable as Victorian Eclectic style). Rarer among the identified styles from the period are Second Empire and Spanish Colonial Revival styles, while other adornments common to later periods, such as Bungalow styles, can be found on buildings that were altered or remodeled outside the period of significance for the MPS. The earliest settlement-era houses were constructed of log, fieldstone, or adobe. They were often later clad in stucco/plaster, wooden drop siding, and brick (Lufkin 2011). The native fieldstone was used to construct a large number of buildings, both residential and nonresidential, during the Settlement Era, and Farmington is known locally for these stone buildings. The earliest known extant dwellings in Farmington date to the 1850s, very shortly after the community was settled. These include the Alfred Stevenson House at 36 North Main Street (built in 1853) and the Hector C. Haight House/Union Hotel at 208 North Main Street (built in 1857). The Stevenson House is a crosswing form, single-family dwelling built with local cobblestone with a later addition, clad in drop siding, and reflecting Victorian Eclectic and Queen Anne styles. The Haight House/Union Hotel was built in a relatively rare double cell form, originally constructed of adobe but later clad in aluminum siding and reflecting vernacular Classical style. b. Significance: Settlement Era residential buildings are significant in Farmington as the predominant extant property type associated with the period. They may be eligible for listing under the MPS under Criterion A or Criterion C. In rare cases, properties may qualify for listing under Criterion B for associations with notable persons in Settlement Era history; however, this criterion should be applied with discretion and only when direct and meaningful associations between the property and the individual and the individual and the significant aspects of Settlement Era history can be demonstrated. Qualifying dwellings reflect the early settlement history of the community and its evolution from a relative frontier outpost to a permanent city. Additionally, the dwellings offer a glimpse into the earliest beginnings of the community, access to construction materials, and adaptations of architectural types and styles to the sometimes unique cultural needs and expectations of an early LDS settlement. The buildings also reflect changing access to construction materials, e.g., evolving from local fieldstone and sun-dried adobe brick to kiln-fired bricks, and the introduction of “higher style” adornment following the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad in 1869 and the connection of communities along the Wasatch Front to national markets and national ideas. Qualifying dwellings are most likely to be eligible under Criterion A within the areas of Exploration/Settlement, Religion, or Social History or under Criterion C in the area of Architecture. NPS Form 10-900-b United States Department of the Interior National Park Service OMB No. 1024-0018 Settlement Era Buildings of Farmington, 1847 to 1896 Davis County, Utah Section F Page 10 As noted above, dwellings of the Settlement Era in Farmington typically represent single cell, hall-parlor, and cross-wing forms reflecting vernacular architectural “styles” and muted interpretations of nationwide styles, such as general Classical, Greek Revival, and Victorian. These dwellings are most commonly constructed of locally procured stone, adobe brick (most often covered in other cladding types, such as stucco, used to prevent decay from exposure to the elements), and regular brick. Common architectural characteristics reflective of the era include moderate boxed eaves with clear cornice returns, segmental arched window openings with header or rowlock brick lintels, rectangular window openings (long axis oriented vertically) with heavy or thick stone lintels, and prominent porches. c. Registration Requirements: To be eligible for listing on the National Register under Criteria A or C (depending on the degree of architectural integrity and meaning), residential buildings must meet the following criteria: 1. The dwelling was constructed between 1847 and 1896. 2. The dwelling retains integrity of location from the Settlement Era. Dwellings relocated during the Settlement Era may still be eligible for listing under the MPS if the other criteria discussed herein are met. 3. The dwelling retains sufficient integrity in all other aspects and depicts the types, styles, materials, and manners of construction common to residential buildings during the Settlement Era in Farmington. a. Alterations, such as replacing windows, even with modern materials, may be acceptable if they do not adversely affect the ability to “read” the building as dating to the Settlement Era or to interpret the design and style of the building as it was intended at the time of construction. Emphasis will be placed on construction materials visible to the public (i.e., not covered by modern cladding), fenestration, and important hallmarks of historical forms and styles, such as porch forms, decorative brickwork, roof pitches, and eave depths. i. Minor and easily reversible changes (such as the addition of awnings over windows, the replacement of doors, or the replacement of a front porch with one similar in scale and design) generally will not result in ineligibility. ii. The application of modern siding by itself generally will not render the building ineligible. If combined with other significant changes, like window replacement or an addition on the façade, the building will most likely be ineligible. iii. Replacement of historical windows with modern windows, as long as primary openings are retained. If window changes are made in NPS Form 10-900-b United States Department of the Interior National Park Service OMB No. 1024-0018 Settlement Era Buildings of Farmington, 1847 to 1896 Davis County, Utah Section F Page 11 combination with installation of non-compatible siding, the overall impact will need to assessed to determine the overall impact to historical integrity. iv. A porch is a relatively ephemeral feature of a building and historic porches were routinely repaired and replaced. The removal or replacement of a front porch with one of similar scale and style may not result in ineligibility. v. Alterations that are more than 50 years old and reflect the architectural trends of a later historic period may have achieved significance in their own right and will not necessarily adversely affect integrity. vi. If the building is a rare intact example of a particular house type in Farmington, a greater degree of alteration may be acceptable. For example, a Settlement Era single cell house that has been covered with newer siding but generally retains its original form, massing, and a few windows or other significant architectural features may be considered eligible. Similarly, one of these house types that retains its original siding but has newer windows or a new porch, or an addition on the side or rear of the house, may also be considered eligible. vii. If a building has been moved from its original location after its period of significance, Criteria Consideration B should be applied. To retain eligibility, a relocated property that is considered significant must have been moved during the historic period or have been placed in a similar setting with similar set-backs and relationships to other structures. b. Additions, including out-of-period additions, may be acceptable if the addition is at the rear of the historical building or subordinate to the historical building in size/massing and does not substantially change the overall form and massing of the original dwelling, does not substantially obscure the original dwelling, and is distinguishable from the original dwelling. i. Additions that are more than 50 years old and reflect the architectural trends of a later historic period may have achieved significance in their own right and will not necessarily negatively affect integrity but may not be eligible for listing under the MPS theme. As noted above, listing on the National Register under Criterion B as part of the MPS theme is expected to be rare. To be eligible for listing under this criterion, residential buildings must meet the following criteria: 1. The dwelling was constructed between 1847 and 1896. 2. The dwelling is directly and demonstrably associated with a person of historical significance from the Settlement Era. NPS Form 10-900-b United States Department of the Interior National Park Service OMB No. 1024-0018 Settlement Era Buildings of Farmington, 1847 to 1896 Davis County, Utah Section F Page 12 a. The dwelling must retain historical integrity and be associated with the person during the period in which their historical significance was achieved. Childhood homes of persons who became notable as adults outside the Settlement Era and for reasons not associated with their childhood would not qualify for listing under Criterion B. 2. Property Type: Agricultural Buildings a. Description: Agricultural buildings are defined for the purpose of this MPS as any building designed, constructed, and used during the period of significance primarily for functions related to farming or ranching. Examples include barns (animal and hay), loafing sheds and shelters, granaries, silos, and farm equipment sheds. Most buildings of this type lack specific architectural style and reflect vernacular forms often derived from the home regions or countries of recent immigrants. Larger barns from the period may reflect locally popular forms, such as those of the English Barn or Intermountain Barn. Improvement Era barns dating to the terminal part of the Settlement Era may also be present in the community, and, if so, would be relatively early examples of this form along the Wasatch Front. Farmington retains several good examples of in-town barns, which were a ubiquitous feature of the early Utah landscape. One noted example is the Oliver Lee Robinson stone barn at 67 West 100 North, which has been converted to a dwelling. Other good examples include the agricultural outbuildings at 797 North Main Street and 1008 North Main Street. Significant barns or outbuilding groups that are associated with an ineligible primary residence may be eligible, but need to be evaluated individually. Generally speaking, agricultural buildings of this period were constructed using simple materials, such as wood framing clad in vertical or horizontal plank siding. In Farmington, locally procured fieldstone and logs also were used. Corrugated metal sheet roofing and siding also is common. Later structures may incorporate cast-in-place concrete for foundations or short walls. The exteriors of most agricultural outbuildings were unpainted and otherwise unadorned. b. Significance: Settlement Era agricultural buildings are significant in Farmington as a notable ancillary property type deeply associated with the early history of the community. Like the majority of nascent communities during the period, Farmington was established as an agricultural community dependent on farming and stock raising for both personal subsistence and economics. This was particularly true prior to 1869 and the completion of rail lines connecting Farmington to larger cities on the Wasatch Front (e.g., Salt Lake City and Ogden) and to national markets. Agricultural buildings that remain in the community, most of which transitioned to a wage economy during and after World War II, reflect the historical roots of Farmington and the role agriculture played in its establishment and growth during the Settlement Era. Qualifying buildings reflect the early agricultural history of the community and its reliance on farming and ranching. Such buildings would typically exhibit double-door entries, often in addition to typical pedestrian entries, that allowed for the passage of livestock and equipment and loft spaces for storing hay or other animal feed. NPS Form 10-900-b United States Department of the Interior National Park Service OMB No. 1024-0018 Settlement Era Buildings of Farmington, 1847 to 1896 Davis County, Utah Section F Page 13 Window openings often were not plentiful and typically corresponded to internal work spaces or animal pens. Corrals, pens, loading chutes, and similar features also are often present and attached to the exterior of the building. Most agricultural buildings in Farmington will be eligible for listing under the MPS under Criterion A and the theme of Agriculture or Economics. Fewer will be eligible under Criterion C within the area of Architecture. Most likely, agricultural buildings will not be eligible under Criterion B for associations with notable persons in Settlement Era history. c. Registration Requirements: To be eligible for listing on the National Register under Criteria A or C (depending on the degree of architectural integrity and meaning), agricultural buildings must meet the following criteria: 1. The building was constructed between 1847 and 1896. 2. The building retains integrity of location (i.e., it has not be moved) and setting. a. A relocated structure may still be eligible for listing under the MPS if it came from elsewhere in Farmington, was placed in a similar setting as its original location, and its relationship to other structures supports its interpretation as an agricultural building. 3. The building was used for agricultural purposes during the Settlement Era context. 4. The building is sufficiently substantial in size to stand alone as a representative example of Settlement Era agriculture or is part of an agricultural building complex that establishes the setting, feeling, and association of the building as a Settlement Era agricultural resource. Individual small granaries or sheds located alone in rear yards or fields, especially when physically associated with dwellings or other buildings constructed outside the Settlement Era, would not qualify for listing under the MPS. 5. The building retains sufficient integrity to depict the types, styles, materials, and manners of construction common to agricultural buildings during the Settlement Era in Farmington. a. Alterations, such as applying corrugated metal cladding to the roof of the building, are acceptable if they do not adversely affect the ability to “read” the building as dating to the Settlement Era or to interpret the design, style, and agricultural function of the building as it was intended at the time of construction. Emphasis will be placed on construction materials visible to the public (i.e., not covered by modern cladding), fenestration, and important hallmarks of historical forms, styles, and functions, such as hay forks, loft openings/doors/hatches, and animal pens. i. Non-historic cladding may be acceptable if said material replicates the historical material’s appearance or replicates other materials commonly used to clad agricultural buildings in Farmington between 1847 and 1896. ii. Painting previously unpainted surfaces will not be considered a disqualifying alteration. NPS Form 10-900-b United States Department of the Interior National Park Service OMB No. 1024-0018 Settlement Era Buildings of Farmington, 1847 to 1896 Davis County, Utah Section F Page 14 iii. Replacing roofs (i.e., down to rafters and decking) or roof materials will not be considered a disqualifying alteration if the original roofline is maintained/duplicated and the visible material closely replicates the original material. iv. Historical window and door locations and sizes that represent the original use(s) of the building must remain visible, if not functional. b. Additions, including out-of-period additions, are acceptable if the addition is at the rear of the historical building or subordinate to the historical building in size/massing, does not substantially change the overall form and massing of the original building, does not substantially obscure the original building, and it distinguishable from the original building. It is unlikely that any agricultural building will be significant under Criterion B. However, to be eligible for listing on the National Register under Criterion B, agricultural buildings must meet the following criteria: 1. The building was constructed between 1847 and 1896. 2. The building is directly and demonstrably associated with a person of historical significance from the Settlement Era. a. The person must have been historically notable/significant during the period of time for which they also are associated with the agricultural building. b. The person must be historically notable/significant for reasons related to agriculture and the use and function of the associated building. c. No other known properties that retain historical integrity are associated with the person. 3. Property Type: Religious and Public Buildings a. Description: Religious and public buildings are defined for the purpose of this MPS as any building designed, constructed, and used during the period of significance primarily for functions related to religious activity or non-commercial community activity. Examples include church buildings, church schools, meetinghouses, clubhouses, courthouse, and libraries, among others. Buildings of this property type often exhibit specific architectural forms and reflect more elaborate architectural styles. Classical, Federal Revival, and Gothic Revival styles are common among buildings of this type. The Greek Revival “Farmington Rock Chapel” at 272 North Main Street and the “Old Farmington Schoolhouse” at 192 North 100 East are two known extant examples of these property types. Religious and public buildings of this period were constructed using available materials but leaned heavily on durable materials meant to reflect the permanence and importance of the building’s function. In Farmington, fieldstone was commonly used in the construction of religious and public buildings. Fired brick was used later in the Settlement Era, and adobe clad in plaster also can be found in the community. It is relatively rare to find extant NPS Form 10-900-b United States Department of the Interior National Park Service OMB No. 1024-0018 Settlement Era Buildings of Farmington, 1847 to 1896 Davis County, Utah Section F Page 15 buildings of this property type that are constructed from wood framing and wood siding or other cladding. b. Significance: Settlement Era religious and public buildings are significant in Farmington as a notable community property type that reflects the coming together of individual residents for communal purposes and governmental function. Given the historical roots of the community, it is not surprising that most, if not all, of the extant religious buildings dating to this period are affiliated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) and its members. Early religious buildings in LDS communities often served many functions, including as schools and public meeting spaces, and sometimes as government centers until such time as separate quarters were constructed to serve municipal functions. Religious and public buildings may be eligible for listing under the MPS under Criterion A using the Areas of Religion, Politics/Government, or Social History or Criterion C under the Area of Architecture. In rare cases, properties may qualify for listing under Criterion B for associations with notable persons in Settlement Era history; however, this criterion should be applied with discretion and only when direct and meaningful associations between the property and the individual and the individual and the significant aspects of Settlement Era history can be demonstrated and there are no residential properties known to be significant for their association with the individual. c. Registration Requirements: To be eligible for listing on the National Register under Criteria A or C (depending on the degree of architectural integrity and significance), religious and public buildings must meet the following criteria: 1. The building was constructed between 1847 and 1896. 2. The building retains integrity of location (i.e., it has not be moved) and setting. a. A relocated structure may still be eligible for listing under the MPS if it came from elsewhere in Farmington, retains good historical integrity, was placed in a similar setting as its original location, and its relationship to other structures supports its interpretation as a religious or public building. 3. The building was used for religious and/or public purposes during the Settlement Era. Buildings that served dual functions, such as hosting both religious and school functions, would qualify for listing under this property type. a. Buildings originally built for or currently serving religious functions would need to meet Criteria Consideration A, under which the building derives its primary significance for architectural or artistic distinction or historical importance rather than for religious use. . 4. The building retains sufficient integrity to depict the types, styles, materials, and manners of construction common to religious and public buildings during the Settlement Era in Farmington. NPS Form 10-900-b United States Department of the Interior National Park Service OMB No. 1024-0018 Settlement Era Buildings of Farmington, 1847 to 1896 Davis County, Utah Section F Page 16 a. The building retains association with its original use, such as use as a place of worship, religious instruction, or public function (e.g., school, meetinghouse, library, etc.). b. Alterations are acceptable if they do not adversely affect the ability to “read” the building as dating to the Settlement Era or to interpret the design, style, and religious or public function of the building as it was intended at the time of construction. Emphasis will be placed on construction materials visible to the public (i.e., not covered by modern cladding), fenestration, and important hallmarks of historical forms, styles, and functions, such as fenestration, entryways, public vs private space allocations, etc. i. Minor and easily reversible changes (such as the replacement of doors, alterations to paint colors, or other minor changes in the appearance of the building) generally will not result in ineligibility. ii. The addition of modern siding by itself generally will not render the building ineligible. If combined with other significant changes, like window replacement or an addition on the façade, the building will most likely be ineligible. iii. Replacement of historical windows with modern windows, as long as primary openings are retained. If window changes are made in combination with installation of non-compatible siding, the overall impact will need to assessed to determine the overall impact to historical integrity. c. Additions, including out-of-period additions, are acceptable if the addition is at the rear of the historical building or subordinate to the historical building in size/massing, does not substantially change the overall form and massing of the original building, does not substantially obscure the original building, and it distinguishable from the original building. i. Additions that are more than 50 years old and reflect the architectural trends of a later historic period may have achieved significance in their own right and will not necessarily affect integrity. However, eligibility for listing under the MPS theme will need to be assessed. To be eligible for listing on the National Register under Criterion B, which is expected to be rare, religious or public buildings must meet the following criteria: 1. The building was constructed between 1847 and 1896. 2. The building is directly and demonstrably associated with a person of historical significance from the Settlement Era. a. The person must have been historically notable/significant during the period of time for which they also are associated with the religious or public building. NPS Form 10-900-b United States Department of the Interior National Park Service OMB No. 1024-0018 Settlement Era Buildings of Farmington, 1847 to 1896 Davis County, Utah Section F Page 17 b. The person must be historically notable/significant for reasons related to religious or public activities and/or the function of the associated building. 4. Property Type: Commercial a. Description: Commercial buildings are defined for the purpose of this MPS as any building designed, constructed, and used during the period of significance primarily for functions related to commerce and for-profit activities. Examples include retail stores, theaters and entertainment venues, medical offices, barbershops, and restaurants, among others. The majority of the commercial buildings in Farmington dating to the Settlement Era are clustered around the corner of State and Main Streets and along State Street to the east. They were constructed of brick masonry. According to Lufkin (2010), Victorian Eclectic styling unites the several one- and two-part commercial block buildings constructed c. 1890 near the corner of the two major streets. Known extant examples of such structures are rare, but one appears to be the small, 1-story brick building located at 23 East State Street. b. Significance: Settlement Era commercial buildings are significant in Farmington as part of the overall establishment of an independent and self-sufficient community that offered goods and services to local residents. The commercial properties represent economic investment in the community and a shift from a barter economy based on subsistence agriculture to one of cash transactions. Commercial buildings may be eligible for listing under the MPS under Criterion A and the themes of Commerce, Entertainment/Recreation, or Social History or Criterion C under the theme of Architecture. In rare cases, properties may qualify for listing under Criterion B for associations with notable persons in Settlement Era history; however, this criterion should be applied with discretion and only when direct and meaningful associations between the property and the individual and the individual and the significant commercial aspects of Settlement Era history can be demonstrated. c. Registration Requirements: To be eligible for listing on the National Register under Criteria A or C (depending on the degree of architectural integrity and meaning), commercial buildings must meet the following criteria: 1. The building was constructed between 1847 and 1896. 2. The building retains integrity of location (i.e., it has not be moved) and setting. a. A relocated structure may still be eligible for listing under the MPS if it came from elsewhere in Farmington, was placed in a similar setting as its original location, and its relationship to other structures supports its interpretation as a commercial building. 3. The building was used for commercial purposes during the Settlement Era. 4. The building retains sufficient integrity to depict the types, styles, materials, and manners of construction common to commercial buildings during the Settlement Era in Farmington. NPS Form 10-900-b United States Department of the Interior National Park Service OMB No. 1024-0018 Settlement Era Buildings of Farmington, 1847 to 1896 Davis County, Utah Section F Page 18 a. Alterations, such as applying corrugated metal cladding to the roof of the building, are acceptable if they do not adversely affect the ability to “read” the building as dating to the Settlement Era or to interpret the design, style, and commercial function of the building as it was intended at the time of construction. Emphasis will be placed on construction materials visible to the public (i.e., not covered by modern cladding), fenestration, and important hallmarks of historical forms, styles, and functions. i. Non-historic cladding may be acceptable if said material replicates the historical appearance of the structure or replicates other materials commonly used to construct commercial buildings in Farmington between 1847 and 1896. ii. Painting previously unpainted surfaces is not a disqualifying alteration. iii. Replacing roofs (i.e., down to rafters and decking) or roof materials are not a disqualifying alteration if the original roofline is maintained/duplicated and the visible material replicates the original material. iv. Historical window and door locations and sizes that represent the original use(s) of the building must remain visible, if not functional. 1. Front-located display windows were common features of historical commercial structures. Blocking, in-filling, or otherwise eliminating or obscuring such features could be considered a disqualifying alteration depending on the extent, reversibility, and overall impact of such changes on the ability to interpret the structure’s association with the Settlement Era and its original use as a commercial property. 2. Replacement of historical windows with modern windows, as long as primary openings are retained. If window changes are made in combination with installation of non-compatible siding, the overall impact will need to assessed to determine the overall impact to historical integrity. b. Additions, including out-of-period additions, are acceptable if the addition is at the rear of the historical building or subordinate to the historical building in size/massing, does not substantially change the overall form and massing of the original building, does not substantially obscure the original building, and it distinguishable from the original building. To be eligible for listing on the National Register under Criterion B, which is expected to be rare, commercial buildings must meet the following criteria: 1. The building was constructed between 1847 and 1896. 2. The building is directly and demonstrably associated with a person of historical significance from the Settlement Era. a. The person must have been historically notable/significant during the period of time for which they also are associated with the commercial building. NPS Form 10-900-b United States Department of the Interior National Park Service OMB No. 1024-0018 Settlement Era Buildings of Farmington, 1847 to 1896 Davis County, Utah Section F Page 19 b. The person must be historically notable/significant for reasons related to commercial activities and/or the function of the associated building.

Geographical Data This MPS applies to the entirety of the municipal boundary of Farmington, Davis County, Utah, as it exists at the time this nomination was prepared. H. Summary of Identification and Evaluation Methods (Discuss the methods used in developing the multiple property listing.) This MPS was prepared using information regarding known historical buildings that 1) is available through the Utah State Historic Preservation Office HUB database, and 2) was provided to the author by the Farmington City Historic Preservation Committee. This information was then compared to available public data regarding construction dates to confirm known or likely construction during the period of significance for the MPS. Specific buildings meeting that period of significance were then field-verified to ascertain present levels of preservation quality to ensure a reasonable percentage of such properties would qualify for listing under the MPS should property owners desire to nominate them. The theme of the MPS was identified by the Farmington City Historic Preservation Committee based on the City’s desire to focus special preservation effort on the community’s oldest extant buildings. As noted in Section F, above, several reconnaissance-level surveys of architectural resources have been carried out in Farmington and provided the information by which this MPDF was prepared. No new survey was conducted as part of the MPDF. The prior surveys occurred in 1986, 2002, 2005, 2010, and 2017 with the 2010 survey appearing to have been the most extensive. Approximately 650 structures have been documented as a result of the prior inventories. After verifying dates of construction through county records and other sources and filtering the data for duplicate records, structures located within the Lagoon Amusement Park Pioneer Village, those that were demolished subsequent to documentation, and those that were constructed after 1896, a total of 87 structures dating to the period of the MPS were identified.

Will those individual properties need to apply for the designation, but this will smooth the path? Or will they be accepted based on the MPS? It kind of seems like Farmington is trying to broad brush SHPOs job on multiple properties.

Christopher Merritt State Historic Preservation Officer Utah State Historic Preservation Office Spencer J. Cox Governor Deidre M. Henderson Lieutenant Governor Spencer J. Cox Jill Remington Governor Love March 20, 2023 Executive Director Utah Department of Cultural Deidre Henderson and Community Engagement Lieutenant Governor DAVID BARNEY FARMINGTON CITY CLG Dear David: We are pleased to inform you that the historic property and historical context listed below will be considered by the Utah National Register Review Committee for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places: LEONARD – TAYLOR HOUSE, 94 E 500 NORTH, FARMINGTON |SETTLEMENT ERA BUILDINGS OF FARMINGTON MULTIPLE PROPERTY SUBMITTAL The National Register of Historic Places is the federal government's official list of historic properties worthy of preservation. Listing on the National Register provides recognition and assists in preserving our Nation's heritage. Listing of a property provides recognition of its historic significance and assures protective review of federal projects that might adversely affect the character of the historic property. If the property is listed on the National Register, tax credits for rehabilitation and other beneficial provisions may apply. Listing in the National Register does not place limitations on the property by the federal or state government. Public visitation rights are not required of owners. The government will not attach restrictive covenants to the property or seek to acquire them. One of your responsibilities as a Certified Local Government (CLG) is to review pending National Register nominations of properties within your community. This is required, in part, to detect any errors in fact, but also to provide local insight or knowledge concerning the property. Please have your historic preservation commission review the enclosed draft nominations and return the enclosed review forms with the appropriate signatures.

Listing on the National Register provides recognition and assists in preserving our Nation's heritage. Listing of a property provides recognition of its historic significance and assures protective review of federal projects that might adversely affect the character of the historic property. If the property is listed on the National Register, tax credits for rehabilitation and other beneficial provisions may apply. Listing in the National Register does not place limitations on the property by the federal or state government. Public visitation rights are not required of owners. The government will not attach restrictive covenants to the property or seek to acquire them. Enclosed please find a notice that explains, in greater detail, the results of listing in the National Register. It also describes the rights and procedures by which an owner may comment on or object to listing on the National Register. You are invited to attend the virtual Review Committee meeting at which the nomination will be considered. The meeting will be held on Thursday, May 18, 2023 at 10:00 AM. You may join the meeting at this link: https://utah-gov.zoom.us/j/88246474912?pwd=eDhZcjRyWW9Pci8ySHVqdWlmNk9Ddz09 Passcode: tzSs*ph4 Should you have any questions about this nomination before the meeting, please contact Cory Jensen of the Historic Preservation Office at 801/245-7242, or [e-mail] Sincerely, Christopher W. Merritt State Historic Preservation Officer Enclosure 3760 South Highland Drive • Salt Lake City, Utah 84106 • history.utah.gov RIGHTS OF OWNERS TO COMMENT ON AND/OR OBJECT TO LISTING IN THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES Owners of private properties nominated to the National Register have an opportunity to concur with or object to listing in accord with the National Historic Preservation Act and 36 CFR 60. Any owner or partial owner of private property who chooses to object to listing may submit to the State Historic Preservation Officer a statement certifying that the party is the sole or partial owner of the private property and objects to the listing. Each owner or partial owner of private property has one vote regardless of the portion of the property that the party owns. If a majority of private property owners object, a property will not be listed. However, the State Historic Preservation Office shall submit the nomination to the Keeper of the National Register of Historic Places for a determination of eligibility of the property rather than a listing in the National Register. If you choose to object to the listing of your property, the objection must be submitted to Christopher Merritt ([e-mail]), State Historic Preservation Officer, 3760 S. Highland Drive, Salt Lake City, Utah 84106, before the scheduled date of the Utah Board of State History meeting to consider the nomination. Other comments regarding the nomination of this property should also be directed to Mr. Merritt prior to the meeting date. A copy of the nomination, along with information on the National Register and the Federal and State tax provisions, is available at https://history.utah.gov/shpo/preservation/ or from the above address on request. If you support the listing of your property, you may send a letter or email to that effect to Mr. Merritt at either the mailing or email address listed above, though there is no requirement that you respond in support. Lack of a response from a property owner is considered a sign of support or lack of opposition. NATIONAL REGISTER--BENEFITS AND RESTRICTIONS What is the National Register? The National Register of Historic Places is the official federal list of properties that are significant in American history, architecture, archeology, and engineering. It was established by the federal government in 1966 as part of the National Historic Preservation Act. Why would someone list their property on the National Register? While listing on the National Register is primarily an honorary recognition of the historic or architectural significance of a property, owners also list their buildings to qualify for federal and/or state rehabilitation tax credits or grants, when available (see below). Listing on the National Register can also help educate the public and change a community's perception of its historic and cultural resources. Does listing limit an owner's property rights? Listing in the National Register does not interfere with a private property owner's right to alter, manage or dispose of the listed property. The owner is not required to restore or maintain the property or open it to the public. Local preservation ordinances, where present, may have some implication for a property owner. Local ordinances are not associated with the National Register. Who can nominate properties to the National Register? Any interested person can research and nominate any property to the National Register. The legal owner has the right to comment on or object to and prevent the listing of their private property. For historic districts, each property owner is provided an opportunity to comment on/object to the nomination. However, at least 51% of property owners must object to prevent the listing of a district. Is there money available for restoration? Limited matching grants are occasionally available for the preservation of properties listed on the National Register -- contact the State Historic Preservation Office for more information RESULTS OF LISTING IN THE NATIONAL REGISTER Eligibility for Federal tax provisions: If a property is listed in the National Register, federal law potentially allows for a 20 percent investment tax credit with a full adjustment to basis for the “substantial rehabilitation” of historic commercial, industrial, and rental residential buildings. Whether these provisions are advantageous to a property owner is dependent upon the particular circumstances of the property and the owner. For further information on certification requirements, please refer to 36 CFR 67. More information on federal tax credits is available at this link: https://history.utah.gov/shpo/financialincentives/ Eligibility for State tax provisions: The Utah State Legislature created a state income tax credit for the rehabilitation of historic (i.e., National Register listed) residential buildings, either owner-occupied or rental. The credit is 20% of the cost of rehabilitation work totaling more than $10,000. All of the proposed rehabilitation work must meet the Secretary of the Interior’s “Standards for Rehabilitation” and must be pre-approved by the State Historic Preservation Office. More information on the state tax credits is available at this link: https://history.utah.gov/shpo/financial-incentives/ Consideration in planning for Federal, federally licensed and federally assisted projects: Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 requires that Federal agencies to take account their actions on those resources eligible or listed on the National Register of Historic Places. For further information, please refer to 36 CFR 800. More information on compliance projects is available at this link: https://history.utah.gov/shpo/shpo-compliance/ Qualification for Federal or State grants for historic preservation when available: Presently, limited funding may be available through the Certified Local Government program. Direct grants to property owners are also occasionally available. For information about possible grants, contact the State Historic Preservation Office.

NPS Form 10-900-b United States Department of the Interior National Park Service OMB No. 1024-0018 Settlement Era Buildings of Farmington Davis County, Utah Section E Page 4 E. Statement of Historic Contexts This MPDF addresses the Settlement Era buildings of Farmington, Davis County, Utah. The period of significance or, rather, the period applicable to the MPDF, is 1847 to 1896. The proximal date (1847) marks the year of first documented settlement by non-indigenous people at the future site of the community. The terminal date (1896) marks the year the Lagoon Amusement Park, a major economic driver in the community that helped shift the area from one almost solely dependent on agriculture to an entertainment destination, was established. It also roughly coincides with the incorporation of Farmington as a city. The historic context presented below was adapted from the historical narrative established in the Farmington Main Street National Register Historic District (NRIS # 11000756) registration form prepared by Beatrice Lufkin in 2011. 1 Settlement Era, 1847 to 1896 The first documented settlement in Farmington by non-native peoples occurred in 1847, shortly after pioneers from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (hereafter referred to as LDS 2) arrived in Salt Lake City. Hector Haight, known as the “fFather of Farmington”, was directed by church leadership to winter cattle herds in the area in 1847-8, and a handful of other families soon headed to the area to establish a permanent settlement. These families built small cabins and dugouts using locally available materials—mostly stone and logs—and took up residency near reliable freshwater sources emanating from the canyons nearby. The fledgling community was known briefly as North Cottonwood and then as Miller’s Settlement in 1849 after Daniel A. Miller plowed the first field in the area. 3 In 1852, the territorial legislature formed Davis County and designated the settlement as the county seat, renaming it to Farmington in honor of the fertile agricultural land in the area. 4 The town was formally platted in 1853 using the Plat of the City of Zion—a planning design created by Joseph Smith, founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—to establish the street grid and lot and block sizes within what is now the core area of the community. A wagon road connecting larger settlements of Salt Lake City on the south and Ogden on the north ran through Farmington. Between 1845 and 1855, a county courthouse was constructed in Farmington. Built of adobe, the courthouse served a variety of functions, including both civic/legal functions and religious ones associated with the area’s LDS residents. 5 Around this time, tensions were rising between the Anglo 1 Lukin, Beatrice. 2011.

On file at the Utah State Historic Preservation Office, Salt Lake City. 2 The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has officially identified use of the full and formal name of the church as their preferred reference as opposed to common short-hand references, such as LDS or Mormon. While no disrespect is intended, this document uses the term “LDS” solely for the purpose of brevity when referring to members of the religion. The full name of the institution is used when referring to the formal church organization. 3 Van Cott, John W. 1990. Utah Place Names. University of Utah Press. 4 Ibid. 5 Early pioneer settlements in Utah were almost exclusively, if not entirely, populated by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Being a NPS Form 10-900-b United States Department of the Interior National Park Service OMB No. 1024-0018 Settlement Era Buildings of Farmington Davis County, Utah Section E Page 5 settlers and indigenous peoples whose land had been usurped as well as between the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the federal government, which was suspicious of possible seditious activities in the Utah Territory. In response to the growing turmoil, Brigham Young, then President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, directed congregants in the territory to fortify their settlements for protection. Across the region, including in Farmington, settlers built forts, which often were little more than thick tall walls around core settlement areas. The fortification in Farmington created an L-shaped enclosure “two blocks wide, covering Main and 100 East Streets, extending from almost 100 South to 500 North with an extension to the west along what is now State Street.” 6 Residential settlement patterns in Farmington during the period reflected the then-current practice of polygamy among LDS pioneers. 7 Typically the LDS patriarch built nearby houses for his several wives and offspring. A number of polygamous family groups built dwellings and lived along the Main Street area. The nearby Clark Lane Historic District (NR# 94001208) on State Street is an example of this settlement pattern, housing several generations of the Ezra T. Clark family. Joseph Lee Robinson was one of the first settlers in Farmington with his families, and a number of Robinson family houses were built on or near 100 North Street. John W. Hess and his first wife, Emeline, settled in Farmington where Hess became a civic and religious leader of the community as well as in the territorial legislature. He married seven women between 1845 and1875 and sired 66 children in the practice of polygamy. 8 Three houses that he built for his wives and families are still present along Main Street in Farmington. His fourth wife, Mary Ann Steed, whom he married in 1857, lived at 479 North Main Street, while Caroline K. Workman Hess, married in 1862, lived nearby at 488 North Main Street. Francis Marion Bigler, whom Hess married in 1875 as his sixth wife, lived at 445 North Main Street. The earliest dwellings in Farmington, which were simple dugouts and cabins during the first several years of settlement, gave way to more substantial and permanent structures as the community established its permanence. Small hall-parlors and single-cell dwellings were constructed throughout the period with larger types such as crosswings and double cells appearing as the community gained wealth and improved access to more durable construction materials towards the end of the Settlement Era. Vernacular Classical architectural styles dominated the built environment during the Settlement Era with Victorian styles and types growing in popularity at the end of the era. Churches often were among the first public buildings constructed in Utah’s pioneer settlements. The first church services in Farmington were held in homes. A log school building was soon constructed and served as religious meetinghouse in additional to an educational facility. When the county courthouse was completed in 1855, rooms on the second story reportedly hosted LDS congregants. 9 By 1879, Farmington boasted 133 residents. Of these, 81 or 61-percent noted their occupation in census records as farmer. As the population of the community grew, the space available in “double-duty” buildings proved inadequate. Construction began in1862 on a purpose-built church building. territory and not a state at the time, the settlements did not follow laws regarding the separation of church and state and often used public buildings, including those designated for governmental functions, for religious activities. 6 Lukin, 2011. 7 Ibid. 8 Ibid. 9 Ibid. NPS Form 10-900-b United States Department of the Interior National Park Service OMB No. 1024-0018 Settlement Era Buildings of Farmington Davis County, Utah Section E Page 6 Constructed of local fieldstone and adorned with elements of Classical style, the building became known colloquially as the Farmington Rock Chapel. Reuben Broadbent is said to have designed the building and supervised its construction. The chapel, which is still standing, is one of the oldest continuously used meetinghouses in the state. It is also renowned as the site where Aurelia Spencer Rogers established Primary, the official auxiliary organization for the children of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in 1878. She began by meeting with local children in the chapel and by 1880 the Primary program was adopted church-wide as the official auxiliary for children. The impending completion of the Transcontinental Railroad in 1869 at Promontory Point well north of Farmington was a pivotal moment in Utah’s history and one that forever changed the nature of the state. The railroad offered access to outside markets for locally produced goods, afforded opportunities for the importation of goods not otherwise available locally, and allowed passengers from across the country to access the western frontier of the nation. As the railroad was nearing completion, Utahbased business and governmental leaders embarked upon efforts to connect the major northern Utah settlements, especially those along the Wasatch Front, to the national rail line. Chief among these efforts was the creation of the Utah Central Railroad by Brigham Young. This railroad eventually extended from Ogden, which was connected to the Transcontinental Railroad by other rail lines, to Salt Lake City. The line was completed between Ogden and Farmington by early December 1869. 10 The Utah Central Railroad later merged with other locally built lines, including the Utah Southern Railroad, to become the Utah Central Railway, a subsidiary of the Union Pacific Railroad. This combined line extended south into Utah County. Later, it was incorporated into the Union Pacific’s San Pedro, Los Angeles, and Salt Lake Railroad, which connected the Wasatch Front to southern California. Products from the local orchards such as cherries, peaches, plums, apricots, pears and apples were shipped by rail to the outside markets made accessible through the railroad network. Merchants and commercial institutions in town increased following the agricultural success of the surrounding farms in the face of increased access to outside markets. In 1891 the Farmington Commercial and Manufacturing Company (FC&M) opened for business in its two-story building at the corner of State and Main Streets. This became the center of a commercial district with offices and stores housed in Victorian Eclectic style buildings. 11 FC&M carried many products useful in a growing community including lumber, nails fresh meats, hardware, and shoes. A group of local merchants organized and formed the Davis County Bank the same year, and it was housed in a room in the new FC&M building. The two-part block Victorian Eclectic building was expanded several times, including to accommodate offices for the American Telegraph & Telephone Company. By the early-1890s, the settlement at Farmington had grown to sufficient size to warrant a change in its municipal status. In 1892, with a population of 1,180, the town of Farmington incorporated as a city. 12 The population would shrink slightly by 1900s, possibly due to severe drought in the area during the late-1890s, but rebounded over the following decade.

Bamberger, a Jewish immigrant from Germany, had emigrated with his family to the United States as a young teenager. Arriving first in New York, the family soon headed for Cincinnati, Ohio, which had a large German population at the time. Ultimately he ended up in Indiana where he stayed into his young adulthood before moving to Missouri and starting a clothing manufacturing company with his brother. This appears to have been one of the first in a long line of business ventures in which Bamberger engaged, though it was one of his few unsuccessful ones. When the garment business failed during the late-1860s, Bamberger made his way to Utah, where he became an incredibly successful businessman and politician. While dabbling in hotel ownership and mining, Bamberger’s greatest business success came in the railroad industry. In 1891, Bamberger formed the Great Salt Lake & Hot Springs Railway, which provided passenger service from Salt Lake City to Becks Hot Springs north of the city. Over the next several years, he extended the line northward, reaching Farmington in 1895. Bamberger had attempted to create a recreational resort, known as the Lake Park Bathing Resort, on the shore of the Great Salt Lake west of Farmington in 1886, the resort had failed due to declining water levels in the lake. To incentivize passenger travel on his newly completed rail line, Bamberger purchased a patch of land just north of the Farmington settlement and created a lake for boating, picnic grounds, and a dance pavilion in 1896. This facility was named The Lagoon and soon grew into the popular amusement park that still operates today. The establishment of Lagoon put Farmington on the map in a way it had never existed before. The community became a destination for locals and travelers alike and boosted the local economy from that of a sleepy agricultural town to a burgeoning entertainment hot spot. On July 4th of the following year (1897), nearly 7,000 people purchased train tickets from Salt Lake City to Farmington to spend Independence Day at Lagoon. 13 Leonard, Glen. 1999.

Associated Property Types The property types associated with the theme of the MPDS were identified from existing data gathered during prior reconnaissance-level architectural resource surveys conducted within the Farmington community and unassociated with the preparation of this nomination. It is important to note that additional properties fitting the theme of the MPSD may be present within the municipal boundary but not yet identified through formal surveys. The prior reconnaissance-level surveys from which were derived the data used to prepare this MPSD occurred in 1986, 2002, 2005, 2010, and 2017. The 2010 survey appears to have been the most extensive. Collectively, the prior reconnaissance-level surveys encompassed most of the historical core area of Farmington, which is located east of Interstate 15 along the foothills of the Wasatch Mountains. No comprehensive architectural resource surveys have been carried out in the western part of the municipal boundary. The area east of the interstate includes the bulk of Farmington’s non-farm residential development, the primary commercial district, and the public and religious center of the community, while the area west of the interstate included the less populated agricultural area of Farmington. Given these differences in land uses and development and the previous focus of largescale architectural resource surveys east of Interstate 15, the bulk of the data about property types dating to the period of significance for the MPSD comes from the residential, commercial, and residential core area of the community. That said, this MPSD accounts for agricultural buildings that may be present elsewhere in the community but have yet to be identified and documented. With this in mind, four property types are associated with this MPSD—residential buildings, agricultural outbuildings, religious and public buildings, and commercial buildings. Of these, residential buildings are by far the most numerous among the properties known to date to the period of significance for the MPSD. All four property types are discussed below with regard to their physical nature, historical significance, and registration criteria. Note that the registration criteria discussed below do not supersede listing restrictions and criteria considerations set forth by the National Park Service for the listing of resources on the National Register. You should include stats for what cumulative data we have for Farmington (evaluation (even if out-ofdate, Original Use, Primary Construction Materials, Style by Period, and Construction Date (% for the context period) 1. Property Type: Residential Buildings a. Description: Residential buildings are defined for the purpose of this MPSD as any building designed, constructed, and used during the period of significance primarily as a dwelling for one or more families. This includes dwellings that were constructed and originally used during the relevant period but later converted to commercial use. Residential buildings in Farmington that date to the Settlement Era are substantially similar to those found in other LDS villages throughout the Intermountain region. They reflect the full range of architectural types and styles of dwellings found across Utah at the time. Among these are single cell?? hall-parlor, crosswing (T-, L-, and H-cottage forms), central NPS Form 10-900-b United States Department of the Interior National Park Service OMB No. 1024-0018 Settlement Era Buildings of Farmington Davis County, Utah Section F Page 9 passage, and double pile forms. Hall-Parlor and crosswing forms are the most common. Other residential forms that do not fit into definable architectural types but reflect vernacular frontier construction also are common. Extant but less common forms including temple form and central-block-with-projecting-bays types. Most of the dwellings are singlestory structures, though a few 1.5- and 2-story forms are known. Given the period of construction, it is not surprising to find that the most common architectural styles applied to these dwellings were vernacular Classical and Greek Revival styles and muted Victorian styles (mostly classifiable as Victorian Eclectic style). Rarer among the identified styles from the period are Second Empire and Spanish Colonial Revival styles, while other adornments common to later periods, such as Bungalow styles, can be found on buildings that were altered or remodeled outside the period of significance for the MPSD. The earliest settlement-era houses were constructed of log, fieldstone, or adobe. They were often later clad in stucco/plaster, wooden drop siding, and brick (Lufkin 2011). The native fieldstone was used to construct a large number of buildings, both residential and nonresidential, during the Settlement Era, and Farmington is known locally for these stone buildings. The earliest known extant dwellings in Farmington date to the 1850s, very shortly after the community was settled. These include the Alfred Stevenson House at 36 North Main Street (built in 1853) and the Hector C. Haight House/Union Hotel at 208 North Main Street (built in 1857). The Stevenson House is a crosswing form, single-family dwelling built with local cobblestone with a later addition, clad in drop siding and reflecting Victorian Eclectic and Queen Anne styles. The Haight House/Union Hotel was built in a relatively rare double cell form, originally constructed of adobe but later clad in aluminum siding and reflecting vernacular Classical style. b. Significance: Settlement Era residential buildings are significant in Farmington as the predominant extant property type associated with the period. They may be eligible for listing under the MPDS under Criterion A and the areatheme of Social History, Criterion B for associations with notable persons in Settlement Era history, or Criterion C under the themein the area of Architecture. Qualifying dwellings reflect the early settlement history of the community and its evolution from a relative frontier outpost to a permanent city. Additionally, the dwellings offer a glimpse into the earliest beginnings of the community, access to construction materials, and adaptations of architectural types and styles to the sometimes unique cultural needs and expectations of an early LDS settlement. The buildings also reflect changing access to construction materials, e.g., evolving from local fieldstone and adobe to kiln-fired bricks, and the introduction of “higher style” adornment following the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad in 1869 and the connection of communities along the Wasatch Front to national markets and national ideas. c. Registration Requirements: Commented [CJ1]: Criterion B may apply in some cases, but the MPS is based more on association with architecture, historical events and patterns, and not so much individuals. So Crit. B should be implemented with discretion. Commented [CJ2]: You need to provide a little more detail. Under what potential areas of significance would they be eligible? You note Social History, but what about Exploration/Settlement, Industry or Commerce? Others? What are some of the architectural characteristics one would expect to find (type, style, details) from this era that would make them significant? Commented [CJ3]: Based on comments that were returned for previous recent MPDFs, this needs to be more specific for all property types in what is allowed/not allowed with regard to integrity. See, for instance, the Orem or Draper MPDFs and feel free to copy relevant info from that one. NPS Form 10-900-b United States Department of the Interior National Park Service OMB No. 1024-0018 Settlement Era Buildings of Farmington Davis County, Utah Section F Page 10 To be eligible for listing on the National Register under Criteria A or C (depending on the degree of architectural integrity and meaning), residential buildings must meet the following criteria: 1. The dwelling was constructed between 1847 and 1896. 2. The dwelling retains integrity of location from the Settlement Era. Dwellings relocated during the Settlement Era may still be eligible for listing under the MPD if the other criteria discussed herein are met. 3. The dwelling retains sufficient integrity in all other aspects and to depicts the types, styles, materials, and manners of construction common to residential buildings during the Settlement Era in Farmington. a. Alterations, such as replacing windows, even with modern materials, are acceptable if they do not adversely affect the ability to “read” the building as dating to the Settlement Era or to interpret the design and style of the building as it was intended at the time of construction. Emphasis will be placed on construction materials visible to the public (i.e., not “buried” under modern cladding), fenestration, and important hallmarks of historical forms and styles, such as porch forms, decorative brickwork, roof pitches, and eave depths. b. Additions, including out-of-period additions, aremay be acceptable if the addition is at the rear of the historical building or subordinate to the historical building in size/massing and does not substantially change the overall form and massing of the original dwelling, does not substantially obscure the original dwelling, and it distinguishable from the original dwelling. To be eligible for listing on the National Register under Criterion B, residential buildings must meet the following criteria: 1. The dwelling was constructed between 1847 and 1896. 2. The dwelling is directly and demonstrably associated with a person of historical significance from the Settlement Era. a. The dwelling must retain historical integrity and be associated with the person during the period in which their historical significance was achieved. Childhood homes of persons who became notable as adults outside the Settlement Era and for reasons not associated with their childhood would not qualify for listing under Criterion B. 2. Property Type: Agricultural Buildings a. Description: Agricultural buildings are defined for the purpose of this MPDS as any building designed, constructed, and used during the period of significance primarily for functions related to farming or ranching. Examples include barns (animal and hay), loafing sheds and shelters, granaries, silos, and farm equipment sheds. Most buildings of this type lack specific architectural style and reflect vernacular forms often derived from the home regions or countries of recent immigrants. Larger barns from the period may reflect locally Commented [CJ4]: I suggest reviewing the Richmond MPDF, which is clear and defined in the ag building discussion. Feel free to cop any language, as we want it as descriptive/prescriptive as possible. Also, as you have done for the dwelling property type, it would be good to note a couple of known examples here. NPS Form 10-900-b United States Department of the Interior National Park Service OMB No. 1024-0018 Settlement Era Buildings of Farmington Davis County, Utah Section F Page 11 popular forms, such as those of the English Barn or Intermountain Barn. Improvement Era barns dating to the terminal part of the Settlement Era may also be present in the community, and, if so, would be relatively early examples of this form along the Wasatch Front. Generally speaking, agricultural buildings of this period were constructed using simple materials, such as wood framing clad in vertical or horizontal plank siding. In Farmington, locally procured fieldstone and logs also were used. Corrugated metal sheet roofing and siding also is common. Later structures may incorporate cast-in-place concrete for foundations or short walls. b. Significance: Settlement Era agricultural buildings are significant in Farmington as a notable ancillary property type deeply associated with the early history of the community. Like the majority of nascent communities during the period, Farmington was established as an agricultural community dependent on farming and stock raising for both personal subsistence and economics. This was particularly true prior to 1869 and the completion of rail lines connecting Farmington to larger cities on the Wasatch Front (e.g., Salt Lake City and Ogden) and to national markets. Agricultural buildings that remain in the community, most of which transitioned to a wage economy during and after World War II, reflect the historical roots of Farmington and the role agriculture played in its establishment and growth during the Settlement Era. Qualifying buildings reflect the early agricultural history of the community and its reliance on farming and ranching. Agricultural buildings may be eligible for listing under the MPSD under Criterion A and the theme of Agriculture or Economics, Criterion B for associations with notable persons in Settlement Era history, or Criterion C under the theme of Architecture. c. Registration Requirements: To be eligible for listing on the National Register under Criteria A or C (depending on the degree of architectural integrity and meaning), agricultural buildings must meet the following criteria: 1. The building was constructed between 1847 and 1896. 2. The building retains integrity of location (i.e., it has not be moved) and setting. 3. The building was used for agricultural purposes during the Settlement Era. 4. The building is sufficiently substantial in size to stand alone as a representative of Settlement Era agriculture or is part of an agricultural building complex that establishes the setting, feeling, and association of the building as a Settlement Era agricultural resource. Individual small granaries or sheds located alone in rear yards or fields, especially when physically associated with dwellings or other buildings constructed outside the Settlement Era, would not qualify for listing under the MPSD. NPS Form 10-900-b United States Department of the Interior National Park Service OMB No. 1024-0018 Settlement Era Buildings of Farmington Davis County, Utah Section F Page 12 5. The building retains sufficient integrity to depict the types, styles, materials, and manners of construction common to agricultural buildings during the Settlement Era in Farmington. a. Alterations, such as applying corrugated metal cladding to the roof of the building, are acceptable if they do not adversely affect the ability to “read” the building as dating to the Settlement Era or to interpret the design, style, and agricultural function of the building as it was intended at the time of construction. Emphasis will be placed on construction materials visible to the public (i.e., not “buried” under modern cladding), fenestration, and important hallmarks of historical forms, styles, and functions, such as hay forks, loft openings/doors/hatches, and animal pens. b. Additions, including out-of-period additions, are acceptable if the addition is at the rear of the historical building or subordinate to the historical building in size/massing, does not substantially change the overall form and massing of the original building, does not substantially obscure the original building, and it distinguishable from the original building. It is unlikely that any agricultural building will be significant under Criterion B. However, Tto be eligible for listing on the National Register under Criterion B, agricultural buildings must meet the following criteria: 3. The building was constructed between 1847 and 1896. 4. The building is directly and demonstrably associated with a person of historical significance from the Settlement Era. a. The person must have been historically notable/significant during the period of time for which they also are associated with the agricultural building. b. The person must be historically notable/significant for reasons related to agriculture and/or the function of the associated building. b.c. No other known properties that retain historical integrity are associated with the person. 3. Property Type: Religious and Public Buildings a. Description: Religious and public buildings are defined for the purpose of this MPSD as any building designed, constructed, and used during the period of significance primarily for functions related to religious activity or non-commercial community activity. Examples include churche buildings, church schools, meetinghouses, clubhouses, courthouse, and libraries, among others. Buildings of this property type often exhibit specific architectural forms and reflect higher style architectural styles. Classical, Federal Revival, and Gothic Revival styles are common among buildings of this type. Religious and public buildings of this period were constructed using available materials but leaned heavily on durable materials meant to reflect the permanence and importance of the building’s function. In Farmington, fieldstone was commonly used in the construction of religious and public buildings. Fired brick was used later in the Settlement Era, and adobe clad in plaster also can be found in the community. It is relatively rare to find extant Commented [CJ5]: Provide some examples of each NPS Form 10-900-b United States Department of the Interior National Park Service OMB No. 1024-0018 Settlement Era Buildings of Farmington Davis County, Utah Section F Page 13 buildings of this property type that are constructed from wood framing and wood veneers or other cladding. b. Significance: Settlement Era religious and public buildings are significant in Farmington as a notable community property type that reflects the coming together of individual residents for communal purposes and governmental function. Given the historical roots of the community, it is not surprising that most, if not all, of the extant religious buildings dating to this period are affiliated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) and its members. Early religious buildings in LDS communities often served many functions, including as schools and public meeting spaces, and sometimes as government centers until such time as separate quarters were constructed to serve municipal functions. Religious and public buildings may be eligible for listing under the MPDS under Criterion A and the themes of Religion, Politics/Government, or Social History, Criterion B for associations with notable persons in Settlement Era history, or Criterion C under the theme of Architecture. c. Registration Requirements: To be eligible for listing on the National Register under Criteria A or C (depending on the degree of architectural integrity and meaning), religious and public buildings must meet the following criteria: 1. The building was constructed between 1847 and 1896. 2. The building retains integrity of location (i.e., it has not be moved) and setting. 3. The building was used for religious and/or public purposes during the Settlement Era. Buildings that served dual functions, such as hosting both religious and school functions, would qualify for listing under this property type. a. Buildings serving solely religious functions would need to meet Criteria Consideration A, under which the building derives its primary significance from architectural or artistic distinction or historical importance unrelated to the specific theology represented by the congregation that used it. 4. The building retains sufficient integrity to depict the types, styles, materials, and manners of construction common to religious and public buildings during the Settlement Era in Farmington. a. Alterations are acceptable if they do not adversely affect the ability to “read” the building as dating to the Settlement Era or to interpret the design, style, and religious or public function of the building as it was intended at the time of construction. Emphasis will be placed on construction materials visible to the public (i.e., not “buried” under modern cladding), fenestration, and important hallmarks of historical forms, styles, and functions, such as fenestration, entryways, public vs private space allocations, etc. b. Additions, including out-of-period additions, are acceptable if the addition is at the rear of the historical building or subordinate to the historical building in size/massing, does Commented [CJ6]: This needs more detail and a disclaimer that Criterion B properties will be rare. Commented [CJ7]: As with the other property types, you will need to be more specific in the Registration Requirements here.

To be eligible for listing on the National Register under Criterion B, commercial buildings must meet the following criteria: 5. The building was constructed between 1847 and 1896. 6. The building is directly and demonstrably associated with a person of historical significance from the Settlement Era. a. The person must have been historically notable/significant during the period of time for which they also are associated with the religious or public building. b. The person must be historically notable/significant for reasons related to religious or public activities and/or the function of the associated building. 4. Property Type: Commercial a. Description: Commercial buildings are defined for the purpose of this MPDS as any building designed, constructed, and used during the period of significance primarily for functions related to commerce and for-profit activities. Examples include retail stores, theaters and entertainment venues, medical offices, barbershops, and restaurants, among others. The majority of the commercial buildings in Farmington dating to the Settlement Era are clustered around the corner of State and Main Streets and along State Street to the east. They were constructed of brick masonry. According to Lufkin (2010), Victorian Eclectic styling unites the several one- and two-part commercial blocks built c. 1890 near the corner of the two major streets. b. Significance: Settlement Era commercial buildings are significant in Farmington as part of the overall establishment of an independent and self-sufficient community that offered goods and services to local residents. The commercial properties represent economic investment in the community and a shift from a barter economy based on subsistence agriculture to one of cash transactions. Commercial buildings may be eligible for listing under the MPSD under Criterion A and the themes of Commerce, Entertainment/Recreation, or Social History, Criterion B for associations with notable persons in Settlement Era history, or Criterion C under the theme of Architecture. c. Registration Requirements: To be eligible for listing on the National Register under Criteria A or C (depending on the degree of architectural integrity and meaning), commercial buildings must meet the following criteria: Commented [CJ8]: Again, some specific examples would be helpful NPS Form 10-900-b United States Department of the Interior National Park Service OMB No. 1024-0018 Settlement Era Buildings of Farmington Davis County, Utah Section F Page 15 5. The building was constructed between 1847 and 1896. 6. The building retains integrity of location (i.e., it has not be moved) and setting. 7. The building was used for commercial purposes during the Settlement Era. 8. The building retains sufficient integrity to depict the types, styles, materials, and manners of construction common to commercial buildings during the Settlement Era in Farmington. a. Alterations are acceptable if they do not adversely affect the ability to “read” the building as dating to the Settlement Era or to interpret the design, style, and commercial function of the building as it was intended at the time of construction. Emphasis will be placed on construction materials visible to the public (i.e., not “buried” under modern cladding), fenestration, and important hallmarks of historical forms, styles, and functions, such as commercial entryways and display windows and sign placard locations. b. Additions, including out-of-period additions, are acceptable if the addition is at the rear of the historical building or subordinate to the historical building in size/massing, does not substantially change the overall form and massing of the original building, does not substantially obscure the original building, and it distinguishable from the original building. To be eligible for listing on the National Register under Criterion B, commercial buildings must meet the following criteria: 7. The building was constructed between 1847 and 1896. 8. The building is directly and demonstrably associated with a person of historical significance from the Settlement Era. a. The person must have been historically notable/significant during the period of time for which they also are associated with the commercial building. b. The person must be historically notable/significant for reasons related to commercial activities and/or the function of the associated building.

Geographical Data This MPSD applies to the entirety of the municipal boundary of Farmington, Davis County, Utah, as it is exists at the time this nomination was prepared. H. Summary of Identification and Evaluation Methods (Discuss the methods used in developing the multiple property listing.) This MPD was prepared using information regarding known historical buildings that 1) is available through the Utah State Historic Preservation Office HUB database, and 2) was provided to the author by the Farmington City Historic Preservation Committee. This information was then compared to available public data regarding construction dates to confirm known or likely construction during the period of significance for the MPDS. Specific buildings meeting that period of significance were then field-verified to ascertain present levels of preservation quality to ensure a reasonable percentage of such properties would qualify for listing under the MPD should property owners desire to nominate them. The theme of the MPDS was identified by the Farmington City Historic Preservation Committee based on the City’s desire to focus special preservation effort on the community’s oldest extant buildings.
