Fremont School Bell

Early settlers of Fremont arrived in the spring of 1876 with a fervent desire to provide their children with a quality education. In 1879, William Taylor and William Wilson Morrell built the first schoolhouse using hewn logs. Each child had a log seat and a slate writing board.

In 1884, a new meetinghouse was constructed near the center of town. The schoolhouse was moved to the site of the meetinghouse, providing two buildings for school sessions. Eventually, five teachers were employed to serve the growing population.

In the 1890s, Joseph Anderson commissioned a two-story rock mercantile building, to be used for education. The building was later sold to school trustees. A belfry was added along with this 300-pound bell. The Fremont School Bell became an integral part of the community and was rung fifteen minutes before school as well as on holidays and notable occasions. In 1921, the school building was abandoned. The bell was salvaged at that time and then assumed lost until its location was discovered at a private home in California. The bell was refurbished and gifted to the Geyser Camp of Daughters of Utah Pioneers.

This is D.U.P. Marker #595, erected in 2024 by the Geyser Camp Daughters of Utah Pioneers and located at John C. Fremont Park in Fremont, Utah

Idaho Springs Opera House

Mrs. Coddington owned a two-story brick double on the corner lot. It was occupied by W. K. Townsend (grocer) and Paul Lanius (hardware). Townsend imported glassware and crockery and was said to have the best selection of cigars in town. “Lets all rejoice- Paul Lanius and company have opened a general hardware store in the Coddington Block”, an 1881 newspaper proclaimed and promised that a full supply of “stoves, miners’ supplies, powder and fuses” would always be on hand.

In a small one-story addition was the “Palace of Sweets”, later the “Opera Confectionery”.

The Coddington Block burned in January 1989 and was demolished the following March to make way for Citizen’s Park.

S. J. Coddington owned the adjacent property to the west until 1912, when he agreed to sell it to a group of investors who called themselves “The Idaho Springs Opera House Association”. During the next two decades, the building was both a vaudeville and movie theatre. Eventually called the “Mines Theatre”, movies were shown here into the 1970’s. The ballroom was consumed by fire in the 1940’s.

The building has a masonry belt course beneath the second floor windows, a metal bracketed cornice and a vertically striated frieze, with decorated metal panels below. In 1994 it was refurbished by owners Bob Gibbs and Art Rosean.
