Built in 1901, the John Shields House at 416 Park is architecturally significant as one of 69 extant pyramid houses in Park City, 28 of which are included in this nomination. Of the 28 being nominated, 11 are true pyramid houses and 17 are variants of the basic type. This house is one of the true pyramid houses. The pyramid house is one of the three most common house types built during the early period of Park City’s mining boom era, and significantly contributes to the character of the residential area. It appeared early on, but was built with variations longer than the other two types. The house was originally nominated in 1984. However, because of an owner objection it was never listed. The current owners are requesting that the objection be removed. This nomination form updates the description of the property since 1984. The original nomination is attached.
