Show Utah Extension News Praises our New U. P. Station fs - .. y . i. - f f a, m - ft ' , J ?1 s ' ,j V -r, " . . : ' - 1 Every town in Utah has at least one or two buildings in which it takes pride, buildings that it is a joy to look at because of their beautiy of line, their fitness of situation, or their simple dignity and strength. ; Such are post office in Logan, the court house in Brigham City, the high school in Beaver, the meeting house in Bountiful, the tabernacle in Saint George. Everywhere you go in Utah you meet some beautiful bit of architecture, though in some small villages it may be only a doorway door-way or a pediment end. You watch for it and you will find it. It is constant con-stant testimonial to the European roots of Utah, roots of which we are fully as proud as we are of our Ver-mount Ver-mount origin. The latest bit of architectural beauty to be bestowed on Utah is the new railroad station at Milford. Outside Out-side of Salt Lake the railroad stations sta-tions of Utah are no great shakes for beauty. They are usually yellow wooden boxes, "all-fired" hot in both winter and summer. With the Milford Mil-ford station we start a new era in rail road architecture in Utah, ont that promises to be as beautiful as that of California. This new station at Milfcrd rises up out of the desert low, broad, substantial, commodious commodi-ous and beauiiful, a building ot which both city and county may be proud, a building that fits in with the desert as appropriately as the .Spanish mission fits in with the low hills of ihe Pacific coast. It is a building you will never forget for-get and that you will see again each time with joy.. Best of all it is an admirable ad-mirable object lesson for builders all over the state. It is a warning never to build small or cheap, cramped or offensive, but to have all our buildings build-ings from bridges to churches things of beauty which may be joys forever for-ever Utah Extension News. |
