National Register of Historic Places federal list of historic sites in the United States

The National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) is the United States federal government's official list of districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects deemed worthy of preservation for their historical significance. A property listed in the National Register, or located within a National Register Historic District, may qualify for tax incentives derived from the total value of expenses incurred preserving the property.

It was the first building in Lehi to have a cement sidewalk, and it was one of the first in Lehi to have electricity. It was one of several buildings in a complex serving the People's Cooperative Mercantile Institution, which had been located on the site since 1872. The building was built on the site of a former building for furnaces, stoves, and agricultural implements; it was built adjacent to an 1878 building which had served as the mercantile building previously. The building had 22,000 square feet (0.20 ha) of mercantile and warehouse space. It is built with brick walls on an ashlar foundation, and possibly was built by local brick masons Andrew Fjeld and Charles Ohran. The building was modified in c.1960 to add an "aluminum 'storefront' glass wall" on the ground level. [2]

Ashlar Finely dressed stone and associated masonry

Ashlar is finely dressed stone, either an individual stone that has been worked until squared or the structure built of it. Ashlar is the finest stone masonry unit, generally cuboid, mentioned by Vitruvius as opus isodomum, or less frequently trapezoidal. Precisely cut "on all faces adjacent to those of other stones", ashlar is capable of very thin joints between blocks, and the visible face of the stone may be quarry-faced or feature a variety of treatments: tooled, smoothly polished or rendered with another material for decorative effect.
