Show The Weekly Supplement To , The Rocky Mountain Review Rooms With What A View! ' by Pat Kendig The Clarence C. Neslen home at 721 Sunrise Avenue was designed for the view. Because Sunrise Avenue is on an angle, the Neslens corner lot is in a direct line with the straight main streets of downtown Salt Lake, giving their panorama dimension. Also in the range of their view are the University of Utah campus, the airport, and, of course, the mountains that frame our valley. On a clear day, they can see Mount Nebo, which is in Nephi, Utah, over one hundred miles away. David Horn, Contractor, translated the Neslens plans into mortar and brick. A blue door, shutters and roof trim the white brick exterior. The floor of the home's entry is of terrazo tile Gold embossed squares. paper covers the wall leading to the lower level Anavacado carpet on the stairs matches the fringed throw rug at the entrance.

Sliding glass doors lead to a cement patio and the unimpeded view. Birch panelling surroundsa boy's room formerly shared by Clarence C., Junior (Bud) and Richard. Built-i- n desks and bookshelves line one wall. A cork bulletin board, louvred birch closet doors and travel posters complete the decor of this room.
