Description
editAt the time of its NRHP nomination, it was deemed significant as one of only three mining town city halls in Utah that had survived from the 1800s. It is older than the 1884 Park City City Hall (in the Park City Main Street Historic District) and the 1899 Eureka City Hall in the Eureka City Historic District) and is unique as a false-fronted frame building.[2]
It has served as a correctional facility, as a meeting hall, as a city hall, and as a fire station.[1]
It was documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey in 1967.[2]
