The John C. Sharp House, located off Utah 36 in Vernon, Utah, is an Italianate house that was built in 1888. [1]

It is significant for association with John C. Sharp, bishop of the Vernon Ward of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), and also for being the only surviving house "which represents the financial success of many of the early ranchers and farmers, most of whom left the area as soon as they could afford to." Further it is one of relatively few surviving houses of a certain type: Italianate box with a side passage plan; it is one of just 11 known in the state, nine being in Salt Lake City. [2]

Others that are NRHP-listed include the Charles R. Savage House in Salt Lake City, the Howe C. Wallace House (a contributing property in the Avenues Historic District) in Salt Lake City; the Lewis S. Hills House in Salt Lake City, and the David McDonald House in Salt Lake City. [2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. [1] The listing included three contributing buildings: the house, a c.1888 barn, and a c.1888 milk house. [2]

Yalecrest is commonly referred to as the renowned "Harvard-Yale area" and many streets are named after Ivy League or major U.S. universities. It is a remarkably visually cohesive area with uniform setbacks, historic houses of the same era with comparable massing and landscaping, as well as streets lined with mature shade trees, and a surprising level of contributing structures that retain their historic integrity. Yalecrest contains 1,487 homes that were built in the early 20th century starting as early as 1912 with the vast majority (74%) built during the period of 1920–1940. The remaining homes in the easternmost part of the neighborhood were built during the post war boom. Yalecrest has the largest concentration of period revival English Cottages, English Tudors, French Norman and Spanish Colonial homes anywhere in Utah. These houses exhibit a variety of period revival styles with the largest portion being English Tudor and English Cottage. According to the Salt Lake City Planning Department, the architectural variety and concentration of period cottages found in Yalecrest are "unrivalled in the state." Examples from Yalecrest are used to illustrate period revival cottages styles in the only statewide architectural style manual. There are 22 subdivisions which were platted and built by the prominent architects and developers of the day responsible for early 20th Century east side Salt Lake City development.. Yalecrest has been on the National Register of Historic Places since November 8, 2007.
