Show THE OGDEN VALLEY NEWS Page 14 Volume IV, Issue IX August 15, 2001 Pin Exhibit on Display at Ogden Valley Branch Library A graduate of the University of Utah, Wilfred Peters is a retired Aerospace Engineer who spent his career working for the U.S. Air Force at Hill Air Force Base. During his mid years, he would pick up pins as he skied various ski resorts, then as he traveled he picked up pins from various travel locations. Before long, he became unbalanced enough to be a “Pinhead,” the name this group of collectors call themselves. The centerpiece of this display are pins from ski resorts, but the display is also set up to show the broad variety of categories of pins available to collect. These categories include Olympics, motorcycles, militia, politics, youth, religion, and many more. The three major classifications of pins are identified by the way they attach to the garment. They are the Pin Back, the Clutch Back, and the Screw Back—held in place by a screw post and a nut. There is a small classification of buttonholers where the back of the pin is formed to slip into a buttonhole. You will find that pins are fun to collect. For the most part, they are not too expensive, and with the exception of some WWI and WWII pilot wings, and some Olympic pins, individual pins cost between $1.00 and $8.00. It’s a relatively inexpensive hobby, with historical, geographical, and artistic aspects. The GrayCliff Lodge The GrayCliff Lodge was built in 1912 as the summer home for the Thomas D. Dee family. Annie Taylor Dee and her children had it built to serve as a summer home for the family. In order to accommodate Dee’s six daughters and their families, the home Harrison Boulevard where Dee Park is now located, was later closed and demolished. The McKay Dee Hospital now bears his name. The Dee family continued to spend their summers at GrayCliff until 1932 when they sold the home to Ed and The GrayCliff Restaurant as seen in 1995.

The Greenwells lived in the center section and used the rest of the building as a boarding house. Toby was a fine cook, and Ed a true entertainer. People started requesting special dinners, wedding anniversary parties, “sweet 16” parties, and such. Toby and Ed would push the furniture to the walls and host a party! In 1945, the Greenwells moved across the street and opened GrayCliff Lodge as an official restaurant. Neal and Lois Sniggs bought the restaurant in 1965. Their son and daughter-in-law Steve and Jodie run the business today. The structure is an example of the arts and crafts architectural movement, with its long and gracefully pitched roofs, its wide verandas and its exposed and articulated structure. The building was originally faced with oiled cedar shingles that weathered to a silver gray—hence its name the GrayCliff. GrayCliff Lodge is located at 508 Ogden Canyon.

The main dining room was designated as their family room or gathering room. Three studio apartments were situated on each side of this great room—one for each of his six daughters and their families. The central living room and apartments were all interconnected by flanking verandas. Upstairs there were two bedrooms, one bathroom and an open sleeping porch to accommodate all the grandkids. The youngest son Laurie was single, so his room was upstairs along with Mrs. “Grandma Dee’s.” Mr. Dee had died before the completion of this house, thus the children also used the home as a way for caring for their mother. Mr. Dee was a Mormon pioneer from Wales. He owned and operated the first lumber/construction company in Ogden after World War I. He was a prominent businessman in the local area, bringing free education to Utah. Upon the death of his oldest son, the Dee family helped to found the “Thomas Dee Memorial Hospital.” The hospital, originally located on $ 3.99 $ 7.99 $ 7.99 $ 7.99 $10.99 Continuous filament polyester with Super stain properties 40 oz. continuous filament nylon Frieze $13.99 50 oz. continuous filament nylon Frieze $14.99 We are a full service-remodeling store.
