The Eureka Post Office was the first federal building erected in the city. The building was constructed at the peak of the Tintic Mining District's prosperity and has continuously housed Eureka's main post office for more than seventy years. The building was designed by the Office of the Supervising Architect for the U.S. Treasury Department, under the administration of James A. Wetmore, Acting Supervising Architect. A new post office is currently under construction near the eastern edge of town. Historians: Thomas H. Simmons and R.

UT-136 Page 2 Historical Background Introduction Mining areas in Western states have historically experienced periods of growth and decline, as minerals were discovered, exploited, and faded. The Tintic Mining District of west-central Utah, whose principal ores included gold, silver, lead, and copper, was organized in December following the discovery of silver earlier in the year. In February the Eureka Hill property was located, giving its name to the gulch below, and the mining camps of Eureka, Silver City, Diamond, and Mammoth were established.

While the Utah Southern Railroad reached the Tintic area by the "lack of adequate competitive transportation facilities" hindered development of the district until the arrival of the Rio Grande Western Railroad in 1 Weathering the Panic of and a major business district fire in the same year, Eureka was described by as "the metropolis of Tin tic. " Shafthouses, headframes, tramways, and concentrating mills on the surrounding hills looked down upon the town in the gulch. Stephen L. Carr observed that "unlike the Mormon farming towns that were surveyed and staked off squarely, Eureka grew up everywhere and anywhere. The main street followed the bottom of a canyon, but the side streets wandered around without seeming purpose.

112 Eureka's population nearly doubled during the growing from in to in The area enjoyed continuing prosperity during the first decades of the twentieth century. The town's population grew to nearly four thousand in and "commercial activity boomed in the early and mid-twenties." The Tintic Mining District enjoyed its peak production in and when output values of and million, respectively, were recorded. Eureka's population fell to in as mining production declined. Many mines closed during the due to water problems and high operating costs, and the last major mine in the area ceased operations in Eureka's population was 1 Philip F.

" 5 These buildings, serving often as focal points of the urban environment, were viewed by local residents as important additions to the architectural heritage of the city. As The Architect noted in small town post offices "are generally the most important of local buildings, and taken together, are seen daily by thousands, who have little opportunity to feel the influence of the great architectural works in the large cities." 6 Planning, Design, and Construction As mining expanded in the early years of the Tintic Mining District, post offices were established at Eureka, Diamond, and Silver City. The first post office at Eureka opened 23 September 7 Over the next half-century the post office was housed in privately-owned structures.

By the early local interest in acquiring a federal post office building arose. C.E. Huish, the editor of the Eureka Reporter, took an active role in securing a post off ice building for the town, as explained by the newspaper in The Reporter editor cannot help but feel just a little bit proud because of the part which this paper has played in the matter of getting this new building. Several years ago, Mr. Huish, in the absence of a commercial club or other civic organization, started this movement single-handed. He communicated with Senator Reed Smoot and was given assurance that a bill would be introduced in the senate, appropriating money for a building.

Senator Smoot, in line with his usual custom, kept right on the job and eventually brought about the 3 Notarianni, 121 and 124 and Carr, 89. 4 Robert Peck, "US Property Keep Off," Progressive Architecture (July 5 Lois A.

The first appropriation of funds for the structure was made on 29 July followed by appropriations of in June and in July The acquisition of the mineral rights to the site was authorized in February 9 The site selected for the Eureka Post Office building was on the east end of Main, at the southeast corner of Main and Wallace Alley. The sloping, irregularly-shaped parcel was about acre in area and contained two frame dwellings. By December 191 7, condemnation proceedings were underway to acquire the site, and W.E. Cook of the U.S. Attorney's Office in Salt Lake City visited Eureka for the purpose of assessing the valuation of the parcel. 10 The entry of the United States into the First World War in April curtailed government construction projects during the war emergency.

The Superintendent of Construction in the Off ice of the Supervising Architect came to Eureka in to survey the proposed building site. Whitted's April drawing showed the extant structures on the site as well as its topography. Fennell and the Margaret Duggan Estate, the property's owners, were paid for the land. Fennel moved the standing structures to new locations near the original Tintic High School in October 11 The Eureka Post Off ice was designed at a time when post off ice plans were becoming increasingly standardized in order to speed construction and to save money.

The Public Buildings Commission of chaired by U.S. Treasury Secretary William McAdoo, recommended that post off ice construction be standardized.

In his Annual Report of McAdoo developed a four-tier classification system for federal building construction based on the level of postal receipts and the character of the surrounding city. Most small towns, such as Eureka, fell into McAdoo's Class D: post offices with receipts of less than and "real estate values justifying only a limited investment for improvements." Post office buildings in this class should be an "ordinary class of building, such as any business man would consider a reasonable investment in a small town. " 12 Construction on federal building projects was slow to resume following World War I.

In the case of the Eureka Post Office, the Treasury Department was reluctant to proceed with the building, believing that the appropriated for the project in was no longer adequate, given subsequent increases in construction costs. Realizing that any effort to increase the appropriation would mean further delay, the editor of the Eureka Reporter obtained a special investigation on building costs and again enlisted the aid of Utah Senator Reed Smoot. Senator Smoot "put the matter squarely up to the proper officials and told them that Eureka would be satisfied with a building." The Eureka Post Office was one of only twelve federal buildings completed throughout the nation in fiscal year (1 July to 30 June .

13 In April initial sketches for the Eureka Post Office were sent to postmaster Frank Beesley and Whitted was reportedly considering another site visit to the town. The final architectural plans for the Eureka Post Office were approved in July Bids for construction of the new building were opened 12 Craig, 99; Darrell H.

Suttle was sent to Eureka by the Office of the Supervising Architect to oversee construction of the building and remained in the town until the building was completed. Suttle opened an office in the basement of the Eureka Public Library.

Formal construction of the post office began in mid-November when Morgan Beck of Spanish Fork began excavation for the foundation using "three or four teams and a bunch of men." A heavy storm in late November caused some delay in construction, but excavation was completed and foundation footings poured by early December, after which construction was suspended until spring. 16 By early May the basement had been completed and the terra cot ta block walls were in place. Construction progress photographs taken in early July showed the building nearing completion. The Eureka Reporter of 24 August reported that finishing touches on the grounds were underway and that the "big flagpole" was to be erected the following week.

The cost of the new facility included 800 for construction and for fixtures. The building was finished with a surplus of remaining in the project budget. Construction superintendent Suttle stated "that there isn't a finer federal structure in the state although there are some that are larger and more expensive." The Eureka Reporter concluded that "Eureka now has a federal building that is a credit to the district. Such an elaborately equipped post office would be a credit to any city in this or any other state ... Historical Uses The Eureka Post Office has been in continuous use since The Official Postal Guide described the Eureka facility as a post office of the second class, serving as a postal savings depository and an international money order off ice.

The salary of the postmaster was then yearly.w As the mining prospects of the surrounding area declined, the population of Eureka and other towns fell dramatically. In local historian Alice P. McCune still described Eureka as "the metropolis of the Tin tic Mining District, " but noted that the number of business establishments had fallen to around twenty from a peak of about seventy-five. McCune observed that "for quite sometime [sic] , Eureka has had a modern and beautiful post office building on Main Street.

Acting Supervising Architect James A. Wetmore The drawings for the Eureka Post Off ice were completed under the administration of James A. Wetmore, the Acting Supervising Architect of the U.S. Treasury Department. Wetmore was born in Bath, New York, in and educated in the public schools of that state. He began a career as a court stenographer and joined the U.S. Treasury Department in Washington in In Wetmore received a law degree from Georgetown University.

Wetmore served as Acting Supervising Architect of the Treasury from to The New York Times reported that "though untrained as an architect, he rose to the office of architectural supervisor through his ability as an administrator and organizer." After his retirement Wetmore moved to Florida where he died in According to one source, during Wetmore's tenure "the Superintendent of the Architectural Division, Louis A. Simon, exercised considerable influence on the design of federal buildings."n Architectural Description The original architectural drawings of the Eureka Post Off ice are housed in the files of the Postmaster in the building.

Included with this report are photographic copies of drawings which encompass all elevations, two renderings of interior floor plans, and a general view of the site (HABS photo nos. UT-136-13 through UT-136-17). Also included in the report (in the Historical Background) are photocopies of historic photographs of the building. The Eureka Post Office is a one-story, symmetrical, rectangular building with raised basement and flat roof with central flat parapet (HABS photo no. UT-136-1). The walls of the building are composed of clay tile blocks finished with smooth stucco, while the foundation and basement walls are constructed of reinforced concrete. A row of mission tile forms coping along the roofline; the flat roof is composed of built up tar and gravel.

Above the entrance vestibule are three horizontal hopper windows with three lights each. A rear basement entrance is accessed by concrete stairs with metal pipe railings at the west end of the building. The basement entrance has double paneled and glazed doors surmounted by a transom. An opening on the wall adjacent to the stairs that was used for coal deli very has padlocked metal doors. A USGS benchmark "Eureka is set into the top of the stair wall. A curving metal davit is located at the east end of the stairs. An eight- over-eight-light double hung window faces a window well with low wall topped by metal railings on the east end of the rear wall. The post office is elevated above the street on a sloping site.

A concrete retaining wall in front of the building at sidewalk level has stair access at each end. The concrete stairs rise to separate intermediate landings, make ninety degree turns toward a shared intermediate landing, and join to form a single run to the entrance landing. The first floor of the post office includes a large public lobby extending across the center front of the building (HABS photo no. UT-13 6 . The public lobby is entered through a paneled interior wood vestibule with walls ornamented with marble baseboards and pilasters supporting architrave molding.

At the northeast corner of the building is the postmaster's office, which has tongue and groove wainscot and an original hanging light fixture. At the center of the east wall of the building is the vault, manufactured by Diebold Safe and Lock of Canton, Ohio (HABS photo no. UT-136-11). A restroom and janitor's closet are located south of the vault area. The mailing vestibule at the center rear of the building has tongue and groove walls and ceiling. All rooms of the first floor except the lobby have wood floors.

Elevated observation points for mail inspectors to view employees are found near the east and west ends of the building. The inspection lookouts consist of iron ladders leading to enclosed areas with louvered openings through which employees could be observed while working or on breaks. At the southeast corner of the building is a narrow circular metal staircase leading to the basement (HABS photo no. UT-136-12). The staircase was manufactured by Shepherd Ornamental Iron Works. The basement has concrete floors and walls finished with plaster. A boiler room in the central section of the basement has a propane furnace which replaced the original coal furnace. A fuel storage room is located at the southwest corner (HABS photo no. UT-136-17).

A toilet room in the east central portion of the basement includes two toilets, a sink and a urinal. The toilet stall walls are composed of gray marble. A large storage area stretches across the north end of the basement. The exterior of the building retains substantial integrity and the interior is basically unaltered. A thick layer of new stucco was applied to the exterior walls in the The restuccoing of the building made the new surface thicker than the original and altered the appearance of the panels and window sills, which previously projected slightly outward and now appear slightly inset or flush with the walls of the building. During the restuccoing, metal relief joints were added in the stucco along the outside of the windows.

Two mission tiles which were located on either side of the name plaque may have been removed at this time. The stairs leading to the front entrance of the building were reconfigured and the railings were replaced prior to The original stairs extended to each end of the building, the railing had a metal balustrade, and the wall in front of the stairs was stepped. Eureka Post Off ice Eureka, Utah HABS No. UT-136 Page 17 Other alterations include the covering up of the southernmost basement window on the west wall and the construction of a new rear access drive from the street south of the post office. The replacement of the coal burning furnace with the propane one necessitated the installation of a propane tank on the east side of the building.

Project Information This Historic American Buildings Survey of the Eureka, Utah, Post Off ice was prepared because the building is being transferred out of federal ownership. A new post office is under construction further east on Main and the old building was offered for sale in September The documentation was produced by Front Range Research Associates, Inc., Denver, Colorado for the U.S. Postal Service. Thomas H. Simmons and R. Laurie Simmons served as project historians, researched the history of the building, and wrote the documentation narrative. Mr.

Simmons conducted a field examination of the exterior and interior of the building in September Large format, archival photography of the exterior and interior of the building and of architectural drawings was completed in September by Roger Whitacre, Denver, Colorado. Project participants for the U.S. Postal Service included Ms. Pat Ferrari, Major Facilities Office, Asset Management, Memphis, Tennessee, who administered the project. Photography, fieldwork, and research in Eureka was facilitated by Ms. Julie Sorenson, Postmaster. Mr. June McNul ty of the Tin tic Historical Society provided the historians with an historic photograph of the building and with newspaper clippings describing its construction.
