Eccles Avenue Historic District, also known as the David Eccles Subdivision, is a historic
neighborhood located between 25th and 26th streets and Jackson and Van Buren Avenues in Ogden, Utah, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.[2]
History
Most of the architecturally significant homes were built between 1910 and 1930 with the majority of the larger homes built during the initial settlement decade. Original inhabitants included families Browning (first generation descendants of gun inventor
E.O. Wattis (of the Utah Construction Company), Patterson, Dumke, Healy, Rowe, Larkin among other Utah (and national) notables. On Van Buren Avenue to the north but not included in the district are also the substantial Ralph Bristol House and the Gustav Becker House. Several families in the district also had patriarchal ties (Eccles, Patterson, Healy, Wattis, and Bigelow) in the Jefferson Avenue Historic District
to the west.
The district was also later home to notables such as
Chairman of the Federal Reserve
and co-founder of First Security Bank (Marriner Browning, an original inhabitant of the district was also a founder.)
The architects of these buildings are listed as
Peery's Egyptian Theatre
, Peery Apartments, Patterson Building, and Eccles Building.
Most of the substantial buildings in the Eccles Avenue Historic District were based on the
Tudor
. A few of the buildings are currently commercially utilized but the majority are privately owned residential dwellings.
