Wilkinson-Hawkinson House
The Wilkinson-Hawkinson House, at 39 Sampson Ave. in Park City, Utah, was built probably sometime between 1895 and 1910. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. It is a one-story frame house, somewhat of the pyramid house type but somewhat also a bungalow. It was deemed "architecturally significant as one of only three well preserved examples of houses that are exceptions to the standard house types that were constructed during Park City's mining boom period. The majority of Park City houses were built as hall and parlor houses, T/L cottages, pyramid houses or variants of the pyramid house. Shotgun houses and bungalows occur in fewer numbers, but were also significant types. About 2Q% of the in-period extant buildings in Park City, including 39 Sampson, did not specifically fit into any one category or were altered so dramatically that the original type was not identifiable. Of those only three well preserved examples remain, all of which are included ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

National Register Of Historic Places
The National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) is the United States federal government's official list of districts, sites, buildings, structures and objects deemed worthy of preservation for their historical significance or "great artistic value". A property listed in the National Register, or located within a National Register Historic District, may qualify for tax incentives derived from the total value of expenses incurred in preserving the property. The passage of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) in 1966 established the National Register and the process for adding properties to it. Of the more than one and a half million properties on the National Register, 95,000 are listed individually. The remainder are contributing resources within historic districts. For most of its history, the National Register has been administered by the National Park Service (NPS), an agency within the U.S. Department of the Interior. Its goals are to help property owners and inte ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bungalow
A bungalow is a small house or cottage that is either single-story or has a second story built into a sloping roof (usually with dormer windows), and may be surrounded by wide verandas. The first house in England that was classified as a bungalow was built in 1869. In America it was initially used as a vacation architecture, and was most popular between 1900 and 1918, especially with the Arts and Crafts movement. The term bungalow is derived from the word and used elliptically to mean "a house in the Bengal style." Design considerations Bungalows are very convenient for the homeowner in that all living areas are on a single-story and there are no stairs between living areas. A bungalow is well suited to persons with impaired mobility, such as the elderly or those in wheelchairs. Neighborhoods of only bungalows offer more privacy than similar neighborhoods with two-story houses. As bungalows are one or one and a half stories, strategically planted trees and shrubs ...

Alfred Lindorff House
The Alfred Lindorff House, at 40 Sampson Ave. in Park City, Utah, was built around 1885. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. It was deemed "architecturally significant as one of two well preserved examples of a Park City house with a distinct L-plan by addition. This type of addition does not appear to have been common in Park City building, and less than five examples of the type are extant. As opposed to the T/L cottage and the T/L cottage by addition, which viewed from the facade have relatively short cross-wings and longer stem-wings, the L-plan by addition house has a distinctive L-plan consisting of two wings of almost equal length that intersect at right angles. A difference in the window types of the two wings indicates that this house was not built with an original L-plan, but instead is the result of the expansion of a small house by the addition of a cross-wing to the front of one end of the original facade. Although an uncommon type, the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
