Stephen Pace always intended to restore the historic Beer Estate carriage house when he acquired it in the 1970s. It took the right people, a new ordinance and a lot of time to get it done.
SALT LAKE CITY — Stephen Pace can tell you everything you need to know about his unique home's history.
While the vote centers on Pace's project, it also paves the way for a quirky — yet likely unimpactful — solution to Salt Lake City's housing shortage.The story of the carriage house dates all the way back to about 1898. That's when William F. Beer, a prominent Utah physician, hired architect Richard K. A. Kletting to design a home for him, more than a decade before Kletting would go on to design the Utah State Capitol. A construction team completed the project the following year.
The structure provided much more than that. It was large enough to shelter at least nine horses, as well as various other animals, and served as the home for hired caretakers. The report states that it was eventually "cut in half" sometime during the mid-to-late 1910s as it became a garage for Beer's automobile, as motorized vehicles began to take over modern transportation.
"I just decided too big of a building, too monumental of a building to let it totally fall apart," he said. "It's taken a little longer than we thought it was going to take.". Pace called Huffaker in the fall of 2019, and he welcomed the challenge, calling the carriage house the "missing piece" of the estate.
The root of the problem came down to zoning codes that didn't really dictate this type of request. Having known about the project for some time, Wharton stepped in and requested city staff to find a resolution that could work for both Pace's and the city's needs. This ultimately led to a proposed zoning ordinance amendment that allows for "the reconstruction of a historic carriage house for the purposes of creating a dwelling unit.
