March 2IS Starla Durbin March 27 Heather Landis Mark Verrone Lloyd Evans The best-laid . . . often Time once again for good news and bad news. The good news is that the Utah State Historical Society conducted a study to show three Main Street businesses how their historic facades could be renovated and made more valuable through a modest investment. The bad news is that even a modest investment is hard to come by. Government money for historic restoration has dried up and two of the Main Street owners say the city isn't doing enough to help them. The society's technical preservation division recently re-cently completed drawings for three commercial store fronts on Main Street: the Inside Story, General Mercantile, Mer-cantile, and Main Street Photographer. Pho-tographer. Nick Mass, the owner of the Main Street Photographer, Photo-grapher, has no immediate plans to refurbish the storefront. store-front. He indicated his next big financial project was to carpet the floor of his living quarters above theshop. The building was formerly located near the Marsac Mill, and was moved to Main Street after the 1898 lire. An upper story later was added to the building, which now leans slightly to the north. He said his building and others like it can't be maintained main-tained without encouragement encourage-ment from the city through tax breaks or low-interest loans. "Otherwise, it is more economical for the owner to sell the property," Nass said. No shacks, thanks The Park City school District soon may end up owning a house without a home. The Board of Education recently approved an agreement agree-ment selling a piece of property on Woodside Ave. near 15th Street for $400,000 to the Salt Lake City firm of Ackerlow - Thomas - Dyer, Inc. However, the firm has no interest in buying the duplex which sits on the property, so the board has made plans to move it to another site. The agreement gave the district 90 days from Feb. 19 to complete the move. In its Feb. 17 meeting, the board approved the purchase pur-chase of a lot in Summit Park as a new home for the duplex. The trouble is, the Summit Park Company doesn't seem to want it there.

"It's gonna cost us money," she said. "And the city isn't looking out for the old buildings." Lewis' build-' ing, constructed by the Salvation Sal-vation Army in 1900, served as a mortuary from 1903 to 1960. She said local government govern-ment hasn't been interested enough to save structures like it. "Someone's got to start screaming," Donna said. "The newspapers are pantywaists. They haven't said anything about this." Edwin Grose owns the General Mercantile, another building which dates back to the 1898 fire. He, too, has no immediate plans for restoration. The historical society began the project by taking applications from interested owners, according to Larry Jones, a preservation consultant. con-sultant. All buildings had to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Staff members and special interns either college students or recent graduates worked to measure, photograph and examine the building facades. They then drew plans to show how the buildings could be restored. Along with the plans, the staffers also drew up a detailed priority work list and a set of work specifications. Jones said the project attempted at-tempted to duplicate the building's original appearance ap-pearance as much as the Summit Park Company listed three objections to the proposed more: "1. We are not in possession posses-sion of a full set of architectural architec-tural drawings, showing floor plans, elevation, electrical, elec-trical, mechanical, etc. "2. The plans which have been submitted show a structure that looks like a 'shack' and does not aesthetically aes-thetically enhance or complement com-plement the area. "3. The plans submitted are in violation of the Summit Park Plat 'K' restrictive re-strictive covenents." When asked by The Newspaper News-paper to elaborate on the third objection, Soter said the company usually does not allow existing structures to be moved into the area . When the letter was read at the March 18 school board meeting, it prompted two of the members to wonder about their previous action. Board President Nancy McComb expressed reserva March :!( Jeanette Mapstone Kim Christians March :!1 J.D. Christiansen Malta Brown possible. The society has one of the largest photo archives in the country, he added, so if photos of the building aren't available, "we know in general the kinds of things that were done at the time." The work is also influenced, influen-ced, he said, by guidelines laid down by the Department of the Interior. The federal standards stipulate that preservation work should retain as much original structure as possible; repair, not replace such items as wooden windows and avoid trendy products like aluminum and use original materials instead. The society's recommendations recommen-dations were similar in some respects for the buildings signage for the upper portions por-tions of the facade, awnings over windows and doors, old paint replaced by new, etc. The studies specifically suggested that the tin roof of the General Mercantile be repaired, the door of the Inside In-side Story be recessed three feet, as it existed originally, and that the bricks in the facade of the Main Street Photographer be replaced with wood. Larry Jones said the Historical Society conducted these studies every year, spending $500 to $1,000 for each building. The Reagan Administration cutbacks apparently will end these studies. And they have also eliminated a grant program which splits the costs of restoration. 50-50 between the owner and the federal government. tions about the amount of money needed to relocate the duplex and another house from the same area. "I think, for that amount of money, we could almost buy something in Prospector Square," she said. "I would like to look at some of those duplexes in Prospector, for example, to see what they cost." Board member Ralph Hale i ' also had second thoughts. "I've always had some misgivings about it but I do thirk it's a good investment," invest-ment," he said. Board Vice-President Gary Avise argued that improvements required by the Summit Park Company would increase the value of the property. "From a shack to a chalet," Hale observed wryly. Soter said Wednesday his company still was trying to work out a satisfactory arrangement ar-rangement with the district. . - RESTAURANT I I I FRESH THIS WEEK B Flounder. Sole. Red Snapper.
