It was renovated in 2000 by repairing or replacing damaged adobe and repairing or replacing the windows, doors, roof, and bell tower. At that time an interior wood frame support was added for stability, plaster on the walls and ceiling was repaired, and the non-historic wood floor was refinished. All work was based on the Secretary of the Interior Standards and approved by the Utah State Historic Preservation Office. • The Alonzo H. and Nancy Foster Russell House is a c. 1862-3 one-and-a-half story Greek Revival sidegabled residence of adobe construction (Photo # 4) with a frame front porch and a shed-roofed rear addition. The double-cell floor plan has a symmetrical fa~ade and cornice returns at the gable ends. The foundation was repointed and stones reset in 2001 . The porch had collapsed due to vandalism and the adobe bricks on the second floor fa~ade were pulled away, leaving the second floor interior open to the weather. In 2003 , the second story wall was repaired, and non-historic stucco applied for a movie set was removed as well, exposing the original adobe bricks. New doors, windows and hardware were also installed. An interior staircase, two interior fireplaces , associated chimneys, the front porch, and the rear shed-roofed addition were reconstructed. Most work was completed in 2004. Like the church/school, all work was based on historical reference complying with the Secretary of the Interior Standards. • The side-gabled single-story vernacular classical Louisa Maria Foster Russell House was built c. 1862-3 of hewn-log construction (Photo # 5) with adobe brick in the gable ends. A door with an adjacent window pierces the north-facing fa~ade of the single-cell structure. There is a frame board-and-batten rear shed-roofed addition. In 1999 the exterior logs were re-chinked, and deteriorated logs replaced. • The David and Maria Smith Ballard House (Photo # 6), c. 1907, is a wood-frame side-gabled one-and-ahalf story house with novelty siding on the fa~ade to the north and board-and-batten siding on the other elevations. A single brick chimney is situated on the ridgeline of the roof. The attic has two small symmetrically placed windows on the west elevation. The symmetrical fa~ade has a central entrance door with flanking windows. The roof on the shed-roofed rear addition was rebuilt with new rafters, roof decking and shingles in 2001. Repair and replacement of materials in kind and new wooden railing was done on the hip-roofed front porch in 2003. • The John, Sr., and Ellen Smith Wood House was built c. 1877 of fired brick (Photo # 7). It is sidegabled in a cross-wing form with two corbelled chimneys and a wooden shed-roofed front porch facing to the east. There are three rooms and three open porches. In 1999 the damaged exterior brick was replaced and repointed as needed. The cellar entrance at the rear of the house was rebuilt in-kind with basalt stone replacements, new stairs, door casing and lintel. The roof was re-shingled as needed and the side porches on the south and north were reconstructed. On the interior damaged floorboards were replaced and living room walls were re-plastered.
