2350 Adams Avenue in Ogden, Utah
- mentioned in Ogden’s Central Bench Historic District:
By 1909-1910, due to the strength of railroad and industries related to it, Ogden had once again become a “Queen City of the Rockies.” In fact, during the years 1909, 1910, and 1911, a subdivision was platted in each of those years. The most noted being the Eccles Subdivision, in 1909; the other two include the Manhattan and Hoff subdivisions. Due to its significance, the Eccles Avenue District was placed on the National Register in 1976. Leslie S. Hodgson and Eber Piers were the two architects credited with the design of the homes on Eccles Avenue. They also designed several other buildings in the district, including the LDS Church Branch for the Deaf located at 740 21st Street (designed by Hodgson), and the Albert Scowcroft home located at 2350 Adams Avenue (designed by Piers). The district is also known for the significant families who resided on Eccles Avenue, who were prominent in local, state, and national affairs.
