The Warehouse District of Salt Lake City, Utah, is a historic district on the city's west side. The area has been occupied by artists, and worked on by developers. [2] A small portion of its area was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, and the listing was greatly enlarged by a boundary increase in 2016.
"The original Warehouse District was listed on the National Register in 1982 and included 16 buildings with a somewhat undefined period of significance from approximately 1890 to 1927. The original district boundary encompasses a roughly 1-block area straddling 200 South between 300 West and 400 West in Salt Lake City. Of the 16 buildings in the original district, 15 were determined to be contributing resources..." [3]
The 15 contributing buildings, along odd then even sides of W. 2nd South, and then on other streets, were: [4]
The one non-contributing intrusion was the Trucker's Cafe (c.1960), at 358 W. 2nd South. [4] It was later demolished. (cite the expansion document)
The district was listed as part of a group of about 35 listings in 1982, as a result of a study of the historic resources in the larger business district area. [4]
The district was expanded by a boundary increase listing in 2016, at which time additional documentation was published. The district is now nearly a square mile in area (it is 544 acres vs. 640 acres in a square mile). It has an irregular shape, roughly bounded by I-15, 50 South, West Temple Street, 300 West, and 1000 South. [3]
The expanded district listing was guided by the "Salt Lake City Business District MRA" document. [5]
The district includes 26 properties which were already separately listed on the National Register, and a total of 197 contributing resources. Many are warehouses and commercial sites, but the district also includes residential properties. To qualify as a contributing resource, a site in the district need to have been constructed in 1869-1966 and to have sustained only minimal physical alteration. [6]
Field studies in 2012 and 2015 identified four periods of development in the district:
Architectural styles include Victorian, Classical Revival, Bungalow, Moderne, and other. Architects include Walter Ware, Alberto Treganza, Richard Kletting, Samuel Whitaker, and others. [6]
Old Pioneer Fort Site, also known as Pioneer Park, is included as a contributing resource in the district.
