452 S 800 E, Salt Lake City, UT 84102

Here’s your chance to live in a beautiful 1910 historic craftsman home with tons of charm and character: the Thomas B. Child home. Thomas B. Child was a very... prominent figure in Salt Lake City, running a brick and stone masonry company. He is noted for working on many important buildings throughout the mountain west. He was also a bishop of the nearby historic 10th LDS ward and was noted as a kind caring man who helped many settlers get started in life. He is most famously the creator of Gilgal Gardens.

The home has been beautifully remodeled, and the historic apartment retains its original character and charm. You’ll not find another building or apartments like this. With separate entrances, and a grand front porch, you’ll immediately notice the cobblestone foundation and doors detailed with custom swirled hinges. It’s like a cottage you may dream about finding in a fairy tale.



*****************************************************************************************************************



The beautiful grounds are communal with the other apartments in the building, and features “the Nitch” - Thomas B. Childs his first “Masterwork” - a complicated philosophical reference to the trinity, Jesus, and men and women who create things - “some come to create...,” a beautiful brick fireplace and garden fountain, lights, antique roses, and a wonderful antique cherry plumb tree – as old as the house itself, that will be filled with beautiful plums for eating or to make jam or jelly late July/August. It’s so very special.



*****************************************************************************************************************



Noted for its craftsman style and beautiful craftsmanship, the exterior has been remodeled to bring out all the amazing woodwork detail, including three tone patriotic red, white and blue paint.

Who would want to live here? The apartment is perfect for someone who loves antiquity and wishes to live apart from the multiplex monstrosities being constructed in the city. Perfect for the student, visiting professor, or just someone who wants to enjoy the beautiful grounds and lifestyle. The building is close to downtown and everything that living here has to offer, but far enough East so as to be away from the some of the problems closer to downtown.
