National Register of Historic Places - Henry A. and Tile S. Cohn House
Statement of Significant: The Henry A. and Tile S. Cohn home, built 1917, is significant in its representation of the early influences of West Coast architectural styles on local residential architecture. This home is one of the best and few remaining examples of the early California Bungalow style in Salt Lake City. It helps to mark the shift from predominately eastern influences to western ones as ideas began to arrive primarily from California, rather than cities east of Utah such as Denver, in the 1910s. The Cohn house and detached garage, both constructed in 1917, embody elements characteristic of the Craftsman Bungalow, in particular the vernacular of the California Bungalow, a style that has been described as the first truly definitive American architectural style. It is also significant in describing a period and type of suburban growth in Utah during the first quarter of the twentieth century. Built by the Dunshee Brothers, investors who developed small neighborhood subdivisions, this home is one of the best examples of their work in Salt Lake City.
