The Salt Lake City County Building was constructed of a soft Kyune sandstone quarried in Spanish Fork Canyon. It carves beautifully, but weathers rapidly when not protected by flashings or overhangs. The building had been restored in the 1980s, and an assessment of the current condition was conducted with Charles Shepherd of MJSA Architects and Craig Childs of Childs Enterprises.
The Landmark Building originally was constructed by the Akron Savings and Loan Company. A condition assessment meeting the standards of ASTM E2270 – 14 Standard Practice for Periodic Inspection of Building Facades for Unsafe Conditions was performed to aid the redevelopment process.
Originally known as the Epworth-Euclid Church, this Gothic Revival church was designed by Bertram Grovsner Goodhue Associates. The church features a Guastavino vault over the crossing with interlacing ribs, stained glass windows, and cast stone sculptures. The conditions assessment aids the building committee in planning future work phases.
The Deseret Building housed the Deseret Bank at the time of its construction. It now anchors the southwest corner of City Creek Center, a mixed use urban development project. The terra cotta cladding condition was assessed, and repairs designed to correct observed cladding distress.
The Glamorgan Castle was built as a residence by the industrialist William Morgan to recall castles in his native Wales. Currently it is owned and occupied by the Alliance City School District. A local preservation group, the Castle Crusaders, assist the District in conserving and maintaining the building.
Originally the Hotel Utah, the terra cotta clad building was completed in 1912 with a major addition appended to the north in 1976. The former Hotel Utah was rededicated as the Joseph Smith Memorial Building in 1995. A condition assessment was conducted on the building and repairs designed for terra cotta repair and replacement. Terra cotta consulting services are being provided to FFKR Architects during the repair phase.
