Abraham Hanauer came to Utah from Colorado in 1885, where he had been a mining lawyer, and

Smelting and Refining Company, which was later taken over by the American Smelting and

    Examples of Victorian style houses in the University Neighborhood Historic District include some larger, two-and-one-half-story, ornate homes such as the house at 1111 East 100 South. This home was built in 1893 by Abraham Hanauer, Jr., who performed legal and secretarial work in the mining industry. Another example is that of the George and Mabel Osmond house at 127 South 1200 East. This home was constructed in 1890, this two-story frame house also incorporates the asymmetrical plan and wrap around porch. The pattern-book stylistic influence is also seen in the smaller, one-and-one-half story home at 1115 East 500 South. Built in 1908 by Fred C. Hadder, this more modest wood frame home continues to use similar features and detailing that represent this period of development in the University Neighborhood Historic District.

    The David and Alice G. Smith House at 1257 East 100 South, built in 1909, is a good example of an Arts and Crafts Bungalow with its exposed rafters and purlins, half-timbered dormer, and full-width porch with paired square columns on rough stone posts. This one story brick home was designed by Bernard O. Mecklenberg and built as a speculative house by Albert S. Erickson. A Craftsman Bungalow with similar but more modest detailing at 441 South Douglas Street was built in 1910 by a speculative developer, H. Bynir. The first residents were Sylvan, a department store manager, and Elizabeth Leon. Another Bungalow at 1224 East 100 South was built c.1925 of brick with half-timbered, clipped gables, as an investment by Willard B. Richards. Clarence J. (a bandmaster) and Josephine Davis Hawkins lived here from 1926-50.

Dr. Leo F. and Irene S. Hummer House

This house was constructed in 1913 for Leo Francis and Irene Stark Hummer. Dr Hummer was originally from Iowa and made his way to Utah in 1905 to serve an internship with Holy Cross, an early Utah Catholic hospital. Dr Hummer served as a physician in Utah until his death in 1946. Also active in politics, Dr. Hummer served two terms in the Utah State Legislature during the 1930s. Mrs. Hummer resided in the house until 1949, when it was sold to Rutherford and Anna Rowell. The bungalow swelling retains its historic integrity and contributes to the character of the University Neighborhood Historic District; key features of the home include its sleep multi-window shed dormer, exposed rafters, dentilled cornice, recessed full-width front porch, and half-timbered rafter ends.

University Heights

University Heights, built in 1951, is an example of Mid-century modern design. The architects, Scott and Beecher, were influenced by the International Style of architecture and perhaps by the noted architect of the period, Alvar Aalto. The eight-story brick and reinforced concrete residential tower exemplifies modern design in its asymmetrical massing, windows cut at corners, lack of ornament, and the white portico featuring an abstract sculptural colonnade of bent piers.

Originally built as apartments, the building was converted to condominiums in 1979.

Two levels of parking are located under a living roof, a concept far ahead of its time in the 1950s.

University Heights Condominiums provides a high density of modestly sized units for a diverse community, including faculty and students of the University of Utah.
