571 N. PUGSLEY STREET (340 W.), SALT LAKE CITY

Utah Heritage Foundation is continually looking for new ways to help communities realize the benefits of historic preservation.  Many of Salt Lake City’s historic neighborhoods have seen an increase in homeowners rehabilitating historic homes and creating pocket of revitalization.  With our latest project, UHF is partnering with the Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake City (RDA) to rehabilitate a historic property in the West Capitol Hill Neighborhood.  Located between 300 West and the freeway, Pugsley Street has already seen some of the benefits of historic Preservation and with the project house located at 571 N. Pugsley Street the preservation efforts in this neighborhood will keep progressing.

Officially titled Preservation at Work, this project will create lasting economic value in a neighborhood revitalization area while also allowing Utah Heritage Foundation to utilize the project for on-site rehabilitation demonstration.  Information and registration for workshops will vary depending on the topic and length of the workshop.  Updated workshop details will be posted here as it becomes available.

This is the first Preservation at Work partnership project between Utah Heritage Foundation and the Salt Lake City Redevelopment Agency, and both entities are excited to see this project get started after months of preparation. Stay tuned over the course of the next several months as experts on historic home renovation will be offering insight and as well as videos of useful information on preserving historic properties at the on-site demonstration workshops. Work on the project house will continue over the next few months with completion toward the end of 2012.
