Title
Brick house , Providence , Utah , 1970
Description
Two-story brick house with gable windows on second story and white shutters on the first story windows and door . The Fifes commented in a note written in the 1970s : "Basic floor plan is like many of the stone houses we've been studying recently . Symmetrical facade , 2 stories . A door in the center , with two windows on either side . The top level with gable windows and a door which opens out onto nothing . Flues centrally located , about 6 ' apart , and undoubtedly have a stairway going up to the second floor immediately between them. " When asked (in 2005) about the purpose of the second front door , Thomas Carter , Associate Professor of Architectural History at University of Utah explained : "The upstairs door was probably for moving furniture and other large household items upstairs . Upstairs doors were found all over the United States during the late eighteenth and most of the nineteenth centuries , for the above reason . By the twentieth century , the need vanished and so did the doors. " Image has been lightened .
