A Legacy Reborn on Park City’s Historic Main Street

Steeped in local lore, this beloved landmark is now embarking on a new chapter: a meticulously planned restoration that honors its 1907 visage while ensuring its story endures for generations.

Preserving the Past & Building the Future
Given its advanced decay and structural hazards, a full restoration became impractical. Instead, the Park City Historic Preservation Board approved a reconstruction using as much original material as possible, rebuilding faithfully in the 1907 style.
Under the vision of Drift Studio, groundbreaking begins fall 2025, with a hoped-for completion by summer 2027. It will emerge once again, not just as walls and history, but as a living monument to Park City’s resilient spirit.
