Roberts Date: -j /-i Street Address: ^p gn nfh Mnn f Architect/Builder: Richard K. A. Kletting Building Materials: reinforced concrete and steel Building Type/Style: Sullivanesque Architecture Description of physical appearance & significant architectural features: (Include additions, alterations, ancillary structures, and landscaping if applicable) The Mclntyre Building is an eight-story commercial structure built of steel-reinforced poured concrete. A strong vertical emphasis in the facade is created by pre-cast concrete mullions or piers which separate three identical parrels of "Chicago windows." The smaller mullions and spandrels feature cast iron facings filled with concrete. The double-hung windows contain ivire mesh. Form lines showing each concrete pour are entirely exposed on the rear (west) exterior wall. The rear porches consist of cantilevered concrete beams and iron railings. All interior doors, casings, and trim appear to be of fine v/ood but areactually baked enameled metal. The stairways are made of cast iron, again following the requirements of a "fireproof" building. The building retains its original exterior condition with the exception of the facade on the main floor level which has been faced with a dark marble. The cartouches located in the bands between the windows, and on the flat portion of the cornice are all intact, as arethe graphics: !? 19 McINTYRE 09"* The bracketed, projecting cornice is also unchanged. The interior of the Mclntyre Building has recently undergone renovation. Tlie original I-shaped plan with its central corridor and flanking stores and offic.es has been altered only slightly. The main foyer and next four floors, as well as the curbed entry stairway, are faced with Mt. Nebo marble ^(4gh&c&-4rS--«^~^ o n g »r . qu ar r i o d)» Sloroctory windowo- ovor-tho jnoin- ot air way Statement of Historical Significance: Construction Date: 1908-1909 The Mclntyre Building is historically significant in two areas. First, the building is the physical/symbol of the productive commercial career of Utah pioneer William H.Mclntyre, Sr. Secondly, the building was designed by Richard K. A. Kletting, Utah ! s leading early modern architect, and is, aside from the late Dooley Building, 'designed by Louis Sullivan himself, the earliest and best example of Sullivanesque architecture in the state. William H. Mclntyre, Sr., was born in Grimes County, Texas, in 18if8. Ills father, a. Mexican War veteran, died in 18^-9 leaving the mother with tire9 children. Mrs. Mclntyre married a Mormon, a Mr. Moody, who moved the '-.onily to Utah. Here the three brothers grew up and worked as partners in '.x-e cattle business. Their largest success came when they purchased about 000 head of Mexican Longhorris in Texas for S3.75 a. head, and drove them Salt Lake City where they sold for $2*f.00 a. head. The brothers split in the mid~l880s but William continued to pursue ranching interests. invested his profits in the undeveloped Mammoth Mine in the Tintic :.:-.ng District and became wealthy as the mine developed into one of the :-t productive in the state. In 189^ Mclntyre bought a If6,000 acre ranch .Alberta, Canada, which later became famous for its fine horses and ebred Hereford cattle which Mclntyre imported from Wyoming in 1902. In o Mclntyre haddeveloped his financial empire in Utah and Canada to yicient strength to call upon architect Richard K. A. Kletting to design build, the present seven story Mclntyre Building. According to one . * .,'3., Y/hen the building was completed in 1909: "It was the first all reinforced concrete and fireproof building > <= » of the Mississippi River. All of the doors, windows, trim,, etc. made of steel. It is seven stories high and although a hazardous .dertaking at the time it was built, it stands today without a major ;, ru c t u r al crack." >o-72 South Main Street MeIntyre Building if, ARCHITECTURE (c9ntinued): are intact, as are many of the heavy brass light fixtures, The original elevators have been replaced. Recent paneling detract from the- original condition of some interior partitions. Owners of the Mclntyre have recently repainted the front facade, accentuating the fine Sullivanesque character of the building. 5. HISTORY (continued): The building permit record (November 18, 1908) shows, in addition to the owner and architect, the builders the Vanderhorst Brothers, and the estimated cost of construction $180,000. Richard K. A. Kletting, the architect, v/as German born and trained and worked on several major European projects, including the Bon Marche, Credit de Lyanais, and Sacre Coeur at Monmarte, all in France, before coming to the United States and settling in Utah in 1883. Because of his excellent training and experience, Kletting soon rose to the top of his profession. Among his major works were the original Salt Palace, Saltair Pavilion, State Mental Hospital at Provo, Deseret News Building, Cullin Hotel, Board of Trade Building, Brigham Young Trust Company Buildings, Karrick Block, Lollin Block, Hooper Block and a. host of other major public commercial, religious, recreational and domestic structures. Kletting was initially a classicist but had a progressive mind and was capable of keeping abreast of the most current architectural trends of his time. His varied works show influences of Richardsonian Romanesque, some excellent examples of Sullivanesque, as well as his better known Beaux-Arts Classicism masterpiec- The Mclntyre Building is a remarkable Sullivanesque building. Sullivan had himself introduced the style to Salt Lake City in 1894 via his modest Dooly Building (razed)-; Kletting 1 s building, however, was in many ways superior to the Dooly, which was never personally supervised by Sullivan. The Mclntyre Building is strikingly similar to the Gage Building (1898- 1899$ Chicago) and has the soaring vertical effect created by unbroken piers which terminate under the cornice, typical of Sullivanesque architec­ ture . The planes between the piers contain the windows and spandrels which' are recessed behind the face of the piers. The ornamental cartouches between the piers show Sullivanesque influence but are distinctively Kletting 1 s designs. Even Kletting 1 s earliest buildings had classical cartouches with dates affixed. From a technological standpoint, the Kclntyre Building was the prototype for later reinforced concrete sky­ scrapers in Utah. Kletting, a life member of the Utah Society of Profess­ ional Engineers, had always been an innovator in engineering. His Saltair 'Vavilion had a domed roof v/hich spanned 1/fO feet by 252 feet and measured ,;r:jm tip to tip, l,lllf feet overall. The only comparable structure, the L]-opular round pavilion at Manhattan Beach, New York, was only 95 feet in liarneter, Kletting later developed iron-reinforced concrete systems befor ; sliding the steel-reinforced Mclntyre building. The handsome design, he mastery of the early modern architectural philosophy of Louis Sullivan o.e personal accomplishments and contributions of both theovmer and echitect of the Mclntyre Building assure its historical significance.

    North Downtown Heritage Tour The early history of Salt Lake City is dominated by the story of its Mormon settlers. These settlers came to Utah as a centrally-organized group dedicated to establishing their vision of a perfect society—the Kingdom of God on earth. Accordingly, there was no distinction between religious and secular life in early Salt Lake City. Leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints directed the community’s economic life, shaped its social life, and even molded its family life. The north end of Salt Lake City’s downtown is a good place to view buildings and sites that reflect the city’s early Mormon heritage. Church leaders, cultural institutions, business enter- prises, and church offices tended to cluster near Temple Square, the geographic heart of the Mormon utopia. Within 20 years of Salt Lake City’s founding, the commu- nity began to diversify. The completion of the transcontinental railroad in 1869 made it much easier for immigrants from around the world to reach Utah. Not all the people who settled in Salt Lake City fit the Mormon vision of members of a perfect society. Nor did these new immigrants always share the Mormon community’s goals. This tour also highlights some of the buildings and sites that represent Salt Lake City’s growth and diversification after its settlement period. Your walk through north downtown’s history will take about one hour. The tour ends on Main Street just one half block south of the starting point at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building.

  • News Release
    News Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SALT LAKE ACTING COMPANY PRESENTS PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST THE WOLVES, BY SARAH DELAPPE Production marks Utah premiere following successful mountings Off-Broadway [SALT LAKE CITY, UT, SEPT 26, 2018] - Salt Lake Acting Company (SLAC), Utah’s leading destination for brave contemporary theatre, proudly presents Sarah DeLappe’s THE WOLVES, playing October 10 – November 11, 2018. A finalist for the 2017 Pulitzer Prize in Drama, THE WOLVES was originally produced in 2016 at The Duke on 42nd Street by The Playwrights Realm in association with New York Stage & Film and Vassar’s Powerhouse Theatre season, before its Lincoln Center debut in 2017. Set on an indoor soccer field, THE WOLVES chronicles the warm-ups of a teenage girls’ soccer team, with all the physical, mental, and emotional waves that come along with being a young female athlete. The characters are funny and smart. The lightning fast dialogue flows and overlaps, challenging the audience to lean in to the fiery dynamics of the team. A deceptively simple setting lays the foundation for a play that examines the intricacies, excitement, and complexity of being a teenage girl in today’s society. Playwright Sarah DeLappe said: "I wanted to see a portrait of teenage girls as human beings – as complicated, nuanced, very idiosyncratic people who weren't just girlfriends or sex objects or manic pixie dream girls but who were athletes and daughters and students and scholars and people who were trying actively to figure out who they were in this changing world around them." THE WOLVES is DeLappe’s first play, which she wrote as a graduate student at Brooklyn College.

    SALT LAKE THEATRE Salt Lake Theatre, c. 1902 Public buildings often speak beyond themselves, suggesting the aspirations and activities of the people who occupied them, and few nineteenth-century Utah structures tell as important a story as the Salt Lake Theatre. Built in 1861 on the northeast corner of State Street and First South Street in Salt Lake City, it survived two-thirds of a century before it was razed in 1928. During this time, its activities charted early Utah cultural ideals as effectively as could a scholarly dissertation. There were manifold subplots as well. The Old Playhouse told of tension between Mormon and non-Mormon and of the assimilation of eastern tastes and culture within the territory. Serving other functions, it also revealed the style of pioneer socials, and later of turn-of-the-century politics. Finally, efforts to save the Theatre disclosed the strain between historical preservation and modernity. In short, the Salt Lake Theatre embodied Utah′s early cultural, social, and political history. From the beginning, the Salt Lake Theatre was a community expression, something like a medieval cathedral. Brigham Young himself announced the project and vigorously pursued its completion. At the time, Salt Lake City was a frontier outpost of 12,000 people. The telegraph had recently established rapid communication with the wider world, but no transcontinental railroad yet existed to freight supplies and facilitate construction of the building. Yet, before building an enlarged meeting hall for worship or completing the much delayed, religiously important Salt Lake Temple, the settlers erected the theatre, easily the largest and most imposing building in the community.

    THEATER IN UTAH Opera poster photograph for "The Bohemian Girl" Theater in Utah has its beginnings in the Mormon Church and its support of innocent amusement for its people. From this support came the building of the Salt Lake Theater, one of the best theaters of its time in the West, and the growth of amateur dramatic companies in almost every town and settlement. In the twentieth century much of the theatrical activity in Utah has centered around the state′s universities, with the development of Pioneer Memorial Theatre at the University of Utah and the Utah Shakespearean Festival at Southern Utah University. Even before the Latter-day Saints migrated to Utah, they staged plays and elaborate pageants in Nauvoo, Illinois, in the early 1840s. Brigham Young himself played a Peruvian high priest in the play Pizarro staged there. As soon as the Mormons felt comfortably settled in Salt Lake City, they again turned to drama for entertainment. In the fall of 1850 the Deseret Musical and Dramatic Association, which included the Nauvoo Brass Band, was formed. Performances were held at the Bowery on the temple block. The first bill included a drama, "Robert Macaire, or the Two Murderers," dancing, and a farce entitled "Dead Shot." In 1852 the Musical and Dramatic Association reorganized as the Deseret Dramatic Association, with Brigham Young as an honorary member. The Social Hall was erected and served as a principal place of amusement from 1852 to 1857. Built of adobe with a shingle roof, the Social Hall has been called the first Little Theatre in America and Brigham Young has been considered by some to be the father of the Little Theatre movement.

  • Among the Mormons
    AMONG THE MORMONS A Survey of Current Literature Edited by Ralph W. Hansen Just over ten years ago I was approached by four young Mormons who were affiliated with Stanford University in one capacity or another. They wanted to know if there was a library market for a scholarly Mormon journal. From first hand knowledge I counselled them on the pitfalls (especially financial) of starting a jour- nal, even one that would be run by volunteers. Disregarding my sage advice, youth would not be denied and Dialogue was born in 1966 with "Among the Mormons" as a regular feature from the first issue. Ten years is a long time to serve on a mis- sion and as I look back on the decade just past, I empathize with the "Wage- Slave"—Master, I've earned my rest. Many hands have contributed to whatever success this effort has achieved. I would be remiss not to publicly acknowledge the help of Chad Flake of Brigham Young University, Dr. Everett Cooley of the University of Utah and Mrs. Ida- Marie Jensen of Utah State University. Bibliography is not light reading. We have endeavored to maintain a light touch in our columns. As this is my last column, I dedicate it to Dialogue's humorist, the late Rustin Kaufman of Rexburg, Idaho.
