Brick became the preferred building material in the Avenues after the late 1860s, when Salt Lake City had several brickyards, including one in the Upper Avenues area, though small adobe houses were built until the 1880s. (Avenues Historic District (amended), National Register of Historic Places Registration Form (NPGallery)) Salt Lake City's Plat D was extended to include the upper bench lands in the late 1890s, and in 1907 the city council designated the east-west streets as avenues, giving the neighborhood its name. (Avenues Historic District (amended), National Register of Historic Places Registration Form (NPGallery)) On the upper slopes of the Avenues, the below-grade garage was a common adaptation to the steep topography.
