Historic Homes, Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County, utah

This home off 1700 South in Salt Lake was built in 1894 for William and Margaret Ann Cornick. Margaret’s brother, Seth Rigby, had previously owned the land where the home was built. They operated a farm on the remaining Rigby property.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
William and Margaret Ann raised three children in this home. After their passing, their son Clyde and his wife Ruby took over the home. They added on a brick sunporch during their tenure. Ruby ended up dying on the sunporch at age 90.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The property used to contain a two-story barn with a hayloft, a toolshed, a chicken coop and a vegetable garden. All of these elements have since been removed.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The home has since become an office space and is now surrounded by other commercial buildings, but still maintains its historic charm.

B’nai Israel Temple

Designed by Philip Meyer, a native of Germany and a nephew of local retail magnate Frederick Auerbach, the B’nai Israel Temple was constructed in 1890-91. Henry Monheim, a local architect, supervised the construction. It is one of the few remaining structures built by Utah’s early pioneer Jews and reflects their importance in the development of the economy, government, and educational institutions of the state. The design of this Romanesque Revival style building was reportedly based on the Fasanenstrasse Synagogue, a famous Jewish temple in Berlin. While the main elevation is rusticated Kyune sandstone, the side walls and the drum beneath the dome are brick.

The Congregation B’nai Israel was organized in 1881 and built a small synagogue in 1883 at First West and Third South. Following a division in the synagogue, the orthodox Congregation Montefiore built a new synagogue at 355 South Third East, and the reform B’nai Israel congregation built this temple. It was sold in the early 1970’s when a new temple was built for combined local Jewish congregations. It has since housed several commercial enterprises including a restaurant and offices.

Hastings Cutoff – Big Mountain Pass

“Start at 1/2 past 6. Crossed Kanyon Creek once more then turned to the right, ascending the mountains by a gradual ascent up a ravine. … the road became steeper until we reached the highest point & immediately commenced a very rapid descent, many teams having to lock both wheels.”

-Thomas Bullock, July 17, 1847

Palace Apartments (Built 1911-12)

This complex predates its Los Gables neighbors by nearly two decades but both ended up on the register this year. It, too, is a 3 1/2-story brick building but in the Neoclassical Revival design. But what the Palace Apartments preserves is a piece of Salt Lake City’s rapid urban growth heading in the 1900s.

“The Palace Apartments is an early 20th-century example of an urban apartment block, one of 180 blocks that were built in Salt Lake City between the 1890s and the 1930s,” historians wrote. “The city’s residential growth in the late 19th and early 20th centuries is represented by two competing types of housing: suburban homes and urban apartment blocks.”

The building has stood for over a century now. Following years of neglect, historians wrote that “substantial renovations” were conducted last year. Now known as the Jude Apartments, the building is helping provide housing for the newest wave of Salt Lake City urban growth.
