Local Historic District Designation.
A local historic district is the only designation under Utah law that can review demolitions. K.E.E.P. has helped nine blocks earn it — more to come.
Drag to pan; click a district for its name and designation date; click the map, then scroll, to zoom. The red outline is the Yalecrest National Register Historic District (listed 2007); the green areas are the nine local historic districts. Boundaries are from Salt Lake City's GIS.
As part of our mission to help preserve the Yalecrest neighborhood, K.E.E.P. Yalecrest provides guidance for homeowners who wish to protect their area of the larger neighborhood through a local historic district (LHD) designation. This is the only way to prevent demolition of our historic homes.
