National Register of Historic Places - Thomas and Mary Hepworth House
Statement of Significant: The Thomas and Mary Hepworth House, constructed in 1877, is architecturally significant under criterion 0 as the only known 2-story Italianate central-passage house in Salt Lake City. As such it marks a culmination of the long tradition of central-passage house designs in the United States and particularly in Utah. The house illustrates the longevity the tradition enjoyed in Utah before giving way to the popularity of the Victorian Picturesque styles of the 1880s. In some ways the house design was a bridge from the old to the new, with its traditional central-passage plan, updated with more vertical Victorian proportions and with stylish Italianate detailing.
