The district lies at the base of the city's foothills to the east, with the city of West Bountiful and the Great Salt Lake to the west. The boundary of the rectangular district is equivalent to the original Bountiful town site survey known as Plat A, approximately three-quarters of the mile square. The district is primarily residential with commercial development along Main Street, and on the western and southern edges. The district includes 823 primary resources, of which 523 (63 percent) contribute to its historic character. Of the 300 (37 percent) non-contributing resources, 101 are altered historic buildings, and 196 are out of period (See summary statistics at the end of Section 7). The district also includes 372 i outbuildings, primarily garages, of which 265 (71 percent) are contributing and 107 (29 percent) are non- contributing. The district also includes two non-contributing objects, one contributing site, and one non- contributing site. Eighty-eight percent of contributing buildings are single-family dwellings. Multiple-family housing accounts for four percent of contributing buildings. The historic housing stock ranges from adobe dwellings built in the mid-1850s to ranch/rambler houses built in the mid-1950s. Seven percent of contributing buildings are commercial or institutional. Most of the commercial buildings are located on Main Street with some found on 500 South and the 200 West corridor. The institutional buildings are scattered throughout the district. Two buildings, the Bountiful Tabernacle [Photograph 10] and the Emily Green House [Photographs 30 & 31], were previously listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Survey Methods and Eligibility Requirements Classification of properties as contributing or non-contributing was based on the results of a Reconnaissance Level Survey of Bountiful's historic Plat A city center conducted in the spring and summer of 2004. The boundaries of the historic district were drawn to include the highest concentration of historic resources within Plat A. Each resource was evaluated for eligibility using the following guidelines and designations established by the Utah State Historic Preservation Office: A ~ Eligible/Significant: built within the historic period and retains integrity; excellent example of style or type; unaltered or only minor alterations or additions; individually eligible of National Register for architectural significance; also, buildings of known historical significance. B ~ Eligible: built within the historic period and retains integrity; good example of type or style, but not as well-preserved or well-executed as "A" buildings; more substantial alterations or additions than "A"; eligible for National Register as part of a potential historic district or primarily for historical, rather than architectural reasons. C -- Ineligible: built during the historic period but has had major alterations or additions; no longer retains integrity, [may still have important local significance]. D ~ Out-of-period: constructed outside the historic period. 1 1 Standard Operating Procedures for Reconnaissance Level Surveys, Utah State Preservation Office (Revised October 1995), B.6. OMB No. 1024-0018, NFS Form United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section No. 7 Page 2 Bountiful, Bountiful, Davis County, UT Evaluations were based primarily on age and integrity. Current condition (or upkeep), appearance, aesthetics, and quality of construction were not determining factors in evaluation. Though a building will sometimes appear newer than it actually is because of intrusive alterations and additions, the surveyor attempted to discern the oldest portion of the building by looking for signs of greater age such as composition, massing, fenestration, foundation materials, chimneys and landscaping. Boundary Description and Development Patterns The boundaries of the district encompass the original Bountiful town plat, which is bounded by 200 West, 400 North, 400 East and 500 South. The district boundary includes properties on both sides of the boundary streets. Bountiful was the second area settled by member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS or Mormon Church) after they founded Salt Lake City in 1847. By the early 1850s, there was a community of family farmsteads scattered throughout the area currently known as Bountiful, Centerville and Woods Cross. On May 1, 1854, the town was laid out within the boundaries of the three-quarter mile square fort site. The fortified town site, known as Plat A, was designed to not
