Hathron Chauncey Hadlock House

478 East 30th Street in Ogden, Utah

  • referenced in Ogden’s Central Bench Historic District:
    The early impact of the railroad was significant, however in the beginning it did not change the face of the Central Bench immensely. In an 1875 reproduction of Ogden, a bird’s eye view of the district shows a sparsely developed community with only a few structures located on each block. One of the earliest homes remaining in the district was constructed during this era. The Hathron Chauncey Hadlock House, c. 1877, is located at 478 28th Street.

    Numerous architecture styles make up the Ogden Central Bench Historic District. The majority of buildings were constructed after 1888, a pivotal year in Ogden when it became less of a rural town and witnessed a large boom that lead to steady growth; however, a small number (approximately 75 contributing buildings) predate that year. Some of the homes built pre-1888 were built using elements of Classical, Picturesque, and early Victorian styles. An example of the Classical type with Gothic Revival detailing can be found at 667 26th Street, the Arthur Wade House, one of the oldest homes remaining in the district. Another example of a Picturesque style is located at 2121 Adams Avenue; it is representative of the style of homes built in rural Ogden during the mid-1880s, just before Ogden’s great building boom. The Hathron Chauncey House, located at 478 28th Street, is a good example of a Classical and early Victorian style.
