4328 South 3600 West: An Arts & Crafts Bungalow and Its Granary
4328 South 3600 West — An Arts & Crafts Bungalow in Granger
Built about 1926, the house at 4328 South 3600 West is a fine local example of the Arts & Crafts / bungalow idiom that became popular in the Salt Lake Valley in the early 20th century. Its sturdy brick construction and thoughtful details reflect the era’s emphasis on craftsmanship, honest materials, and human-scale design.
Architectural description
Style: Arts & Crafts / Bungalow with Prairie School influences.
Form: Front-gabled brick house with wooden gable trim. The masonry walls give the home a solid, grounded appearance typical of 1920s vernacular bungalows.
Porch: A partial-width porch exhibits Prairie School elements — strong horizontal lines and an emphasis on shelter and approachable entry.
Windows: The window in the front gable appears to be a later alteration; otherwise, the primary window openings appear to be intact and unmodified, preserving the house’s original fenestration rhythm.
Outbuildings: The property includes three secondary structures:
A contributing “inside-out” granary on a concrete foundation with a wooden roof — a relatively rare surviving agricultural outbuilding in an increasingly residential neighborhood.
A non-contributing metal shed & barn (later addition).
A non-contributing metal carport (modern vehicle shelter).
Social and occupancy history
The house was constructed in the mid-1920s, when Granger was transitioning from farmsteads to more permanent, year-round family homes.
In the late 1960s the home was occupied by Martin F. Peterson (surname shown as Peterson / Martin F in your notes).
By the 1970s the property appears in address listings as a multi-unit residence (apartment configuration), with occupants recorded as:
4328 A — Whitworth, Don Q
4328 B — Peisley, Paul D
4328 C — Jacobson, Terry L
4328 D — Oliver, Kenneth L
This change from single-family to apartments reflects broader mid-20th century shifts in housing demand and land use on the west side of the valley.
Significance
The house at 4328 S 3600 W is significant for multiple reasons:
Architectural: It retains characteristic Arts & Crafts features (brick construction, wooden gable trim, modest porch with Prairie influence) and retains much of its original window configuration.
Historic context: The surviving granary underscores the property’s agricultural past and the gradual evolution of Granger from farmland to residential neighborhoods.
Community memory: Longtime residents who remember the home as a single-family house earlier in the century — and later as apartments — will find the building a useful touchpoint for telling the neighborhood’s story.
