Reese Williams House
Reese Williams House

The Reese Williams House, at 421 Park Ave. in Park City, Utah, was built in 1898. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.It is a two-story frame "box house", with a truncated hip roof having dormers on east and south sides. It was built as a house for Reese Williams by carpenter Ellsworth J. Beggs. Williams, born in 1851 in Wales, worked at the Silver King Mine, and died in 1898 just three days after this house was completed; his widow and children lived here for only one year.In 1984 it was deemed "architecturally significant as one of four extant two story box houses in Park City, three of which are well preserved and included in this nomination. The two story box is closely tied with the pyramid house, one of three major house types in Park City. Like the pyramid house, it has a square or nearly square form, a pyramid or truncated hip roof, and a porch spanning the facade. It varies in size from the pyramid house, being a full two stories, as compared with the one or one and one half stories of the pyramid house. The two story box was not common in Park city, but judging from the range of extant buildings in Park City, it seems to have been the preferred design choice for a sizeable Park City house. All of the extant examples of this house are located on prominent sites along Park Avenue, the most prestigious street in Park City, further documenting the significance of this house type as one chosen by those who were seeking more than a utilitarian dwelling. This house is also historically significant as the first hospital in Park City. It served the community from 1900 until at least 1904, when the large Miners Hospital was constructed."It was leased in early 1900 to T.H. Monahan and E.H. Howard who set up the Park City Hospital. The hospital had an operating room and electric lights. Monahan was a surgeon; Howard was manager of the hospital. The Williams family continued to own the building after the hospital closed, eventually selling it in 1925 to Henry Thomas, and it was then owned by the Thomas family for many years.

Wilkinson-Hawkinson House

The Wilkinson-Hawkinson House, at 39 Sampson Ave. in Park City, Utah, was built probably sometime between 1895 and 1910. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.It is a one-story frame house, somewhat of the pyramid house type but somewhat also a bungalow.It was deemed "architecturally significant as one of only three well preserved examples of houses that are exceptions to the standard house types that were constructed during Park City's mining boom period. The majority of Park City houses were built as hall and parlor houses, T/L cottages, pyramid houses or variants of the pyramid house. Shotgun houses and bungalows occur in fewer numbers, but were also significant types. About 2Q% of the in-period extant buildings in Park City, including 39 Sampson, did not specifically fit into any one category or were altered so dramatically that the original type was not identifiable. Of those only three well preserved examples remain, all of which are included in this nomination. This house can be visually tied with the pyramid house and the bungalow. It has the square plan, the drop siding, and the indented porch of the pyramid house, but has the horizontal three part windows and simplified boxy form of the bungalow. In addition, it has a skewed gable roof which was not characteristic of either the pyramid house or the bungalow. This house is unlike any other house in Park City, and documents the fact that although standard house types were the rule in Park City, exceptions to the standard types were also built."In 1898 Frank and Rosetta Hawkinson bought a house, probably this one, described as "'a 3 room frame house on Block 78 between the house of Alfred Lindorf on the West, J. Peterson on the East, and Philip Tobin on the South.'" Neighbors recall them living in this house for as long as they could remember. Frank, born in Sweden in 1869, immigrated to the U.S. as a boy with his parents, and worked 35 years for the Park Utah Mining Company. He died of a heart attack when repairing the roof of this house in 1939. Rosetta was born in Switzerland in 1877, and came to Midway, Utah with her parents at age 9. They had two children.
