In Yalecrest
The Yalecrest district is visually cohesive, with uniform setbacks, houses of the same era with comparable massing, mature street trees, and a great concentration of period revival cottages and bungalows designed by renowned Utah architects and builders. (Yalecrest | Historic Preservation (Salt Lake City)) Yalecrest was built out quickly, with 22 subdivisions platted from 1910 to 1938, and its houses are largely period revival cottages in English Tudor and English Cottage styles. (Yalecrest | Historic Preservation (Salt Lake City)) In a Salt Lake City local historic district, all exterior work except paint color and minor maintenance needs approval, in the form of a Certificate of Appropriateness, before work starts and before a building permit is issued. (Living in a Local Historic District | Historic Preservation (Salt Lake City)) Salt Lake City preservation staff say unpainted historic masonry should stay unpainted, because paint can trap moisture and severely damage the structural integrity of the masonry. (Living in a Local Historic District | Historic Preservation (Salt Lake City)) Unreinforced masonry buildings have brick walls with few or no steel reinforcing bars, are typically older structures, and are more likely than modern structures to collapse inward and outward during an earthquake.
