Professional Memo Memorandum PLANNING DIVISION COMMUNITY & NEIGHBORHOODS To: Historic Landmark Commission From: Ashley Scarff, Planner Date: November 1, 2018 Re: National Register of Historic Places Nomination: Boulevard Gardens National Historic District Please find (attached) the National Register of Historic Places nomination for what is proposed as the Boulevard Gardens National Historic District, which is located in the Ballpark neighborhood and roughly bounded by Quayle Avenue to the north, Main Street to the east, West Temple Street to the west, and a private alleyway to the south. It includes 23 properties organized around a central greenspace. The Utah State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) requests input from the Historic Landmark Commission, a Certified Local Government (CLG), regarding National Register nominations within the Salt Lake City boundaries. Commission Members should focus their review and comments on whether a reasonable case has been made for the significance of this property and forward a recommendation to the Board of State History. NATIONAL REGISTER The National Register of Historic Places is the federal government’s official list of historic properties worthy of preservation. Listing of a property or district provides recognition of its historic significance and assures protective review of federal projects that might adversely affect its integrity or character. If a property is listed on the National Register, tax credits for rehabilitation and other beneficial provisions may apply. Listing in the National Register does not place limitations or additional regulations on the property by the federal, state, or local government. BACKGROUND The proposed Boulevard Gardens Historic District encompasses a single subdivision of approximately three acres located in Salt Lake City’s Ballpark Neighborhood, and is roughly bounded by Quayle Avenue to the north, Main Street to the east, West Temple Street to the west, with an alleyway and parking area providing the south boundary. The subdivision was constructed between 1929 and 1931 according to plans drafted by noted Utah architect Slack Winburn. Every Boulevard Gardens home faces into a large landscaped court, the subdivision’s most distinguishing feature. This central court, consisting of a swath of grass bordered by sidewalks, runs the entire length of the development and serves as the address for each house. Boulevard Gardens is by far the most substantial of Salt Lake SALT LAKE CITY CORPORATION 1 WWW.SLC.GOV 451 SOUTH STATE STREET. ROOM 406 TEL. (801) 535-7757 PO BOX 145480 SALT LAKE CITY, UT 84114-5480 City’s six (6) garden courtyard residential developments, and consequently it is a significant, if not the primary example of garden suburb housing in Salt Lake City. Boulevard Gardens’ twenty-three (23) houses comprised of Tudor Revival and/or Arts and Crafts elements likewise constitute an important architectural effort. While each Boulevard Gardens home was uniquely designed, the houses are unified through their common styling and massing, brick construction, white trim, peaked gables, hipped roofs, front porches, wood mullioned windows, and/or diamond-paned leaded glass windows. CRITERIA FOR NOMINATION Criteria C – Property embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction or represents the work of a master, or possesses high artistic values, or represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components lack individual distinction. Boulevard Gardens is significant under Criterion C in the areas of Architecture and Landscape, with a period of significance that spans the development’s period of construction (1929-31). Boulevard Gardens is significant for three (3) reasons: 1. First and foremost, Boulevard Gardens is the most architecturally substantial and intact garden suburb constructed in Salt Lake City, with a collection of 23 small Tudor Revival-influence period cottages, all of which are contributing. The city is home to other “garden suburbs,” but none of these are as extensive or architecturally substantial as Boulevard Gardens. 2. Second, the development represents the collaborative work of important Utah architect Slack Winburn. Slack Winburn ranks as one of Salt Lake City’s most inventive twentieth-century architects and many of his buildings, including the Clift Building and the Mayflower Apartments, are already listed on the National Register of Historic Places. 3. Finally, Boulevard Gardens’ history reflects key trends that swept the United States at the onset of the twentieth-century. Such trends include the “Better Homes Movement” with its accompanying emphasis placed on American home ownership, as well as the automobile-driven suburbanization that allowed home ownership to become a key component of the American dream. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Historic Landmark Commission provides a positive recommendation to the SHPO and the National Park Service. Staff concurs with the findings in the nomination form, especially those that highlight Boulevard Gardens’ significance as a primary example of a garden suburb-style development, with 23 contributing Tudor Revival single family cottages that have largely retained their historic integrity. NEXT STEPS The Board of State History will review the National Register nomination at a board meeting on October 25, 2018, and the Historic Landmark Commission’s recommendation will be included with the final submittal to the Keeper of the National Register.

Our aim in selecting the excerpts included here was to highlight some of our newest practitioner-oriented titles, and illustrate the global scope of the work being done in this field. In reading through this FreeBook, you’ll find not only that the authors of these selections are based all over the world, but also that their approach to their work reflects a truly global outlook. The focus on practicality in Urban Design makes this FreeBook an ideal resource for urban design practitioners, but it should also prove useful to professionals across the Built Environment, including those in architecture, planning and even urban geographers and policymakers.

    80 ROSLYN ROAD ROSSMORE APARTMENTS City of Winnipeg Historical Buildings & Resources Committee Researcher: Murray Peterson April 2019 This building embodies the following heritage values as described in the Historical Resources By-law, 55/2014 (consolidated update July 13, 2016): (a) Built in 1903 as a single-family dwelling, this structure was enlarged and altered into a multi-tenant block, mirroring the evolution of the entire Roslyn Road area; (b) This house was associated with Robert Lorne Richardson, newspaper man and Member of Parliament and his wife Clara J.M. Richardson and the conversion to an apartment block was associated with contractor J.A. Tremblay; (c) It was designed by local partnership Parkinson & Halley, built by contractor J.A. Tremblay and is an excellent example of one of only a handful of Georgian Revival Style structures in the city; (d) Built of brick with stone accenting, this block is representative of contemporary construction methods; (e) It is a highly conspicuous building within the residential neighbourhood; and (f) The building’s main façades have suffered little alteration. 80 ROSLYN ROAD - ROSSMORE APARTMENTS By the early 1900s, Winnipeg was in the midst of the most far-reaching and sustained period of growth in its history. The effects on the physical landscape of the community were enormous. In the city’s downtown, for example, infill construction, the demolition of older structures and erection of larger, more permanent buildings greatly increased the density of development. Much of this activity followed spatial patterns established before the turn-of-the-century which had created specific banking, warehouse and commercial districts.1 Similarly, empty lots along streets in older residential neighbourhoods began to fill as the demand for housing increased.

Progress Report: The Religious Properties Preservation Study . Education News/ Preservation Scene . Pittsburgh Architecture: Imports from Philadelphia Archite cttlre after Richurd,s orL A Masterpiece in Print In June, the Pittsburgh History & Landmarks Foundation plans to celebrate the release of Margaret Henderson Floyd' s book Ar c hít e c ture af't e r Ri c hard s o n : Regionalism beþre Modernism; Longfellow, Alden, and Herlow in Boston and Pittsburgh. Margaret Henderson Floyd is a professor of art and architectural history at Tufts University. Her 568-page casebound book, pub- lished by The University of Chicago Press in association with Landmarks, is handsomely designed and lavishly illustrated with 455 photographs. It is a fascinating study of Pittsburgh and its architecture at the turn of the centu- ry, and it offers a new perspective on the decades fol- Iowing H. H. Richardson's death, a crucial period in America's architectural development. The publication was funded in part by generous grants from the Allegheny Foundation; Architectural Heritage Foundation; Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts; The George Gund Foundation; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Northeastem University; the Revolving Fund for Education of the Pittsburgh History & Landmarks Foundation; Sewickley Valley Historical Society; Tufts University; and throughT2 contributions from individuals and businesses in Pittsburgh.

    THE WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA \ HISTORICAL MAGAZINE Volume 62 October 1979 Number 4 THE ANATOMY OF A STREETCAR SUBURB: A DEVELOPMENT HISTORY OF SHADYSIDE, 1852-1916 Robert J. Jucha the CivilWar and World War I,the East End of Pitts- Betweenburgh grew at a rate far exceeding all other sections of the city. In this period, the East End experienced a population increase from less than 8,000 to over 160,000. l To a large extent this great growth was attributable to the introduction— in the mid-nineteenth century of the railroad and streetcar hence the term streetcar suburbs. 2 This study examines the development history of one of these East End streetcar suburbs, the Shadyside district. The period covered begins with the rise of rail transportation and concludes when the automobile supplants it in the early twentieth century. Primary concern willbe with the land-use patterns that occurred, and secondary emphasis will be on the kinds of persons attracted to the suburb. Robert J. Jucha is completing his dissertation in American Studies at George Washington University in Washington, D.C His topic is the de- velopment and architectural history of the Shadyside district of Pittsburgh. Mr. Jucha is also teaching part-time in art history at the Pennsylvania State University's New Kensington Campus. —Editor 1 These figures are approximations based on the combined population of Peebles, Collins, and Pitt townships in 1860 and the Seventh through Fifteenth wards in 1910.
