Gustavson House, Holladay
Renown Utah architect Dean Gustavson designed this striking modernist house in 1957 and had it built as his own family home. He added a bomb shelter adjacent to the house in 1961 after the Cuban Missile Crisis raised the threat of a nuclear war. The glass house reflects that period of innovation and prosperity, while the bunker reveals the reality of the hunkering-down Cold-War mentality prevalent at the time.
