661 East Downington Avenue in the Liberty Wells Historic District in Salt Lake City, Utah
- mentioned in Liberty Wells Historic District:
In addition to the many single-family dwellings that are associated with this period district’s history are several double houses (duplexes). These double houses are somewhat unique within streetcar suburbs such as Wells, as they represent higher density housing that was typically found in more urban settings. However, several streetcar suburbs around downtown Salt Lake City are known to have included a surprising number of such multi-family residences, including Wells and nearby Forest Dale. Roughly two dozen contributing double houses representing this period are present in the district. Most, such as the ca. 1912 property at 661 East Downington Avenue and the 1928 property at 604 East Kensington Avenue, exhibit elements of Period Revival style. Others, such as the 1924 residences at 665 East Downington Avenue, incorporated the highly popular Bungalow style.
