Statement of Significant: The Byron Cummings House, built in 1891, is architecturally and historically significant as one of the ten remaining houses that were original to Perkins' Addition subdivision, the most visually intact 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 looked upon at that time as the standard of subdivision excellence. The Cummings house, as one of seven houses in Perkins' Addition which are variants of one house pattern, documents a significant process in suburban development—the use of standardized plans that could be varied to accommodate individual preferences. Additionally, this house type, distinguished by its gable facade and double porch entry, is unique in Salt Lake City, having originated in Colorado. This house is also significant for its association with Byron Cummings, a prominent educator, a nationally recognized archeologist and the principal founder of the athletics program at the University of Utah. The Byron Cummings House at 936 East 1700 South was built in 1891 as one of the thirteen large, brick houses constructed in Perkins' Addition subdivision by Metropolitan In ELEGANT HOUSE, WOOD FINISH ten rooms, bath, pantry, cellar and furnace.
