HURON — City commissioners on Monday voted to approve a request from the owner of the former Jefferson School in southeast Huron to apply to have the building listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The property, located at 855 Utah Ave. S.E., is owned by the Huron Church of the Open Bible. The request was made by the church board of directors.
At its last meeting, the Campbell Park Historic District Board supported the listing and forwarded that backing to the state. The board encouraged commissioners to forward their consent as well.
Planning Director Barry Cranston said the State Historic Preservation officer believes “that the Jefferson school embodies distinctive characteristics of a type, period and method of construction typical of its era.”
Also noted was the fact that the building was designed by notable architect F.C.W. Kuehn, which is considered significant because of his national identity and reputation for designing a number of different facilities in Huron, according to Cranston.
