Show OMB No. 1024·0018. NPS Form United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section No. Z Page ~ Grafton Historic District, Rockville, Washington County, UT • A small frame shed at the rear of the Louisa Maria Foster Russell House (Photo # 8) was raised and leveled with approximately 40% of the historic building fabric/exterior walls replaced in kind in 1999. The roof is clad with wooden shingles. • A large frame Intermountain-style bam was built c. 1907 to the west of the David arid Maria Smith Ballard House (Photo # 9). The entrance is on the narrow gable end and it has a flanking shed-roofed side wing. No restoration work has been documented on the bam. The barn is clad with unpainted weathered vertical wooden planks and the roof with corrugated metal sheeting. • A one-room raised log granary (Prior to 1900) to the east of the David and Maria Smith Ballard House (Photo # 10) has had no known restoration work. It has a low-pitched front- gabled roof with planks at the gable ends. The opening is on the north elevation. • A small two-room log bam c. 1877 to the south of the John, Sr., and Ellen Smith Wood House (Photo #11) was in an advanced state of deterioration prior to being rebuilt in 2000. The roof pitch matches that in an historic photo and original logs were reassembled in their original position with new below-grade concrete reinforcing the comer posts. The gabled roof is clad with planks. • A c. 1877 log granary on stilts to the south ofthe Jolm, Sr., and Ellen Smith Wood House (Photo # 12) was raised, leveled and set on native stone supports rather than the original juniper comer posts. The existing gabled roof was replaced at some point prior to 1998 and clad in wooden shingles. All of the extant buildings date from between 1862 and 1907 and remain essentially unaltered, with the exception of natural deterioration and recent restoration efforts. The buildings remain as they were constructed, without electricity, gas, modem plumbing, or telephones. The remnants of five building foundations and a bridge foundation are found in Grafton, and include the following: • The c. 1862 William and Sarah Smith Hastings house foundation (Photo # 13) is basalt and sandstone and located at the southwest comer of Grafton Road and North street. • Cut black basalt stones mark the foundation of the c. 1900 James N. and Susan Hirschi Stanworth house on the south side of the east end of North Street (Photo # 14). The stone remnants appear to indicate that the first floor had four rooms with a cellar below the southeast comer. • Steps lead below grade at the sandstone foundation of an excavated cellar/dugout to the east of the David and Maria Smith Ballard House (Photo # 15). In 2001 it was informally excavated and artifacts retrieved. |
