National Register of Historic Places - Henry Luce House

Statement of Significant: The Henry Luce House, built in 1891, is architecturally and historically significant as one of the ten remining houses that were original to Perkins' Addition subdivision, the most visually cohesive example of a streetcar subdivision in Salt Lake City. Streetcar subdivisions played a major role in the transformation of the land south of the original city from agricultural to residential use in the 1890s, and Perkins' Addition was considered the standard of subdivision excellence. The luce House, as one of seven houses in Perkins' Addition which are variants of one house pattern, documents a significant process in sub urban development —the use of standardized plans that could be varied to accommodate individual preferences. Additionally, this house pattern, distinguished by its gable façade and double porch entry, is unique in Salt Lake City, having originated in Colorado.
