OTHER RESOURCES
PART I Historic Context, Architectural Types & StylesMuch of the material in this section, including photographs and diagrammatic sketches, draws from the research and analysis carried out by Thomas Carter and Peter Goss, published in 1988 as Utah’s Historic Architecture, 1847-1940, and is used here with their kind permission. Other background, including quotes on pages 4:3 & 4:4, is taken from the research and multiple property documentation carried out by Roger Roper, Utah State Historical Society, 1987-9. The summary section on Principal Apartment Types & Styles (pp 4.6 & 4.7) is reused here from the Design Guidelines for Residential Historic Districts in Salt Lake City prepared by Winter & Company with Clarion Associates, adopted in 1999. The latter also forms part of the Preservation Handbook for Historic Residential Properties & Districts in Salt Lake City, adopted in 2012.
