Historic Buildings, NRHP, Ranches, Wasatch County, Woodland

Built in 1934-35, the Stewart/Hewlett Ranch Dairy Barn is one of eight
o significant buildings on Stewart Ranch, a well preserved turn-of-the-century “recreational ranch” that served for over 50 years as both a working ranch and a recreational summer retreat for its owners, prominent business and professional men from Salt Lake City. Stewart Ranch is probably the best preserved of the recreational ranches that were established on the western edge of the Uinta Mountains, a popular location for such ranches because of both its wilderness appeal and its proximity to Salt Lake City, only about sixty miles away. The ranch was established c.1902 by four Stewart brothers William M., Samuel W., Charles B., and Barnard J. who maintained their homes and professions in Salt Lake City while supervising and, to various degrees, participating in the operations of the ranch. The dairy barn was constructed during the ranch’s second phase of operation, which began in 1931 when the ranch was sold by the Stewarts to Lester Hewlett, son-in-law of Charles, and his brother, Vern. At that time the emphasis of the ranch was changed from cattle raising to dairying.

The notable buildings remaining on the ranch and when they were built:

  • Ethelbert White/William M. Stewart Ranch House (1890)
  • Barnard J. Stewart Ranch House (1911)
  • Samuel W. Stewart Ranch House (1913)
  • Charles B. Stewart Ranch House (1918)
  • Stewart Ranch Foreman’s House (1929-30)
  • Lester F. Hewlett Ranch House (1912?)
  • Verner Hewlett Ranch House (1929-30)
  • Stewart-Hewlett Ranch Dairy Barn (1935)

Daggett County, historic, NRHP, Ranches, utah

The Oscar Swett Ranch consists of three pioneer homesteads–the first settled by Sanford Green in 1907, the second in 1909 by Mr. Swett’s mother and the third by Oscar Swett in 1913. The consolidation of the three homesteads was completed in 1928 when Oscar Swett bought the Sanford Green Homestead. The 397 acre ranch was operated with only horse-drawn equipment for 60 years until it was purchased by the United States Forest Service in 1970.

Stewart Ranch Foreman’s House

This house was constructed in 1919 to replace the original ranch foreman’s cabin that was built soon after Stewart Ranch was established c. 1902. The builder and first foreman to occupy this house was Randolph Fife, a nephew of the four Stewart brother who founded the ranch. Subsequent occupants include Alex Murphey (1923-c. 1930), Herman Cooley (c.1938-1955), and Arvin and Ardean Anderson (1955 to at least 1986). Stewart Ranch functioned first as a livestock operation (c.1902-1931) then as a dairy ranch (1931-1955). It concurrently served as a recreational retreat for its owners – the Stewarts then the Hewletts – who were successful business and professional men in Salt Lake City. Stewart Ranch was probably the largest and longest lived of the “recreational ranches” that were established in this area during the early twentieth century by prominent families from Salt Lake City.
