The Browning Automotive Museum
The Browning Automotive Museum in Ogden is a great example of people who's screwing around involves collecting very expensive cars. In this case, 1901 - 1940 cars. Mostly from the great era of luxury cars, 1920 - 1939.

This marvelous historical manor is a Utah gem that is steeped in a century of history. Originally established in 1938 by the Walker family as a summer home, this property boasts a 13,000 square foot house, a guesthouse with a second floor apartment, a newly built caretaker’s cottage, a charming barn, and acres of exquisite gardens, pools, ponds, and paths. With only 4 owners since the home was built, each one has carefully preserved this historic property while updating essential elements to capitalize on modern innovations.
Located at the end of one of the most elite streets in Utah, this home is nestled in an extremely quiet, pastoral setting. The ornate, wrought iron fence that surrounds the property, which was purchased at a museum auction, is the original fence that surrounded Boston Common at the same time Paul Revere made his infamous midnight ride. A lovely pond and winding path are part of the sweeping landscape that leads to the grand entrance, which features stately pillars, an ornate ceiling, and an intricate fountain.
Beyond the magnificent entry, the foyer still has the original marble floors and lead glass windows. It also features a stunning spiral staircase that was meticulously reassembled by hand after being purchased from the New Hampshire’s Governor’s mansion that draws the eye up to a gorgeous chandelier.
The spacious living room has an abundance of beautiful features, including the original fireplace and hardwood floors, ornate moldings, and a period chandelier. The large windows offer sweeping views of an exquisite landscape and the pool, which won an international gold medal for design.
The billiards room boasts original stained glass, coffered, gold leaf ceilings, and marble floors. French doors and windows in a lovely alcove bathe the room in soft light. A wet bar and a regal fireplace make this space ideal for gathering together with friends and family for any event.
One of the most charming rooms in the home is the winter garden room, which has heated tile floors under a beautiful atrium. Three sets of French doors leading to the gardens provide ample light and outstanding views.
To the left of the foyer, a water closet with a gold sink and stained glass sits just outside the private office space. This majestic office is surrounded with wonderful architectural features, including wood paneling from the New Hampshire Governor’s mansion, arch doors, stunning tile, and a wood fireplace.
To the right of the living room is a spacious formal dining room with marble floors, a fireplace, and antique windows from England. The adjacent kitchen boasts traditional details such as tall ceilings and original stained glass, but commercial-grade appliances, a massive granite island, and a butler’s pantry capitalize on modern conveniences. It is easy to entertain groups of any size with easy access from the kitchen to the patio, the formal dining room, or the informal dining space.
To the right of the kitchen, the informal dining space and the family room, create a modern-day great room. Domed ceilings, antique stained glass and a grand fireplace add to the ambiance of this room and an ice cream parlor from England offers some whimsy.
Upstairs, the master bedroom boasts floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the spectacular gardens and flood the room with light.
The ballet room houses several treasures, including woodwork from the historic Leyson-Pearsall jewelry store that was established on Salt Lake City’s Main Street in 1905. The original jewelry case, a wrought iron gate, and beautiful columns add wonderful charm to this delightful room.
Additional features include a second story laundry room, a luxurious sauna, and a generous mudroom with lockers and a dog bath. Each of the home’s bedrooms is a miniature suite, with two closets and a full bathroom assigned to each room, which allows family members and guests to enjoy their own private sanctuary.
The stunning grounds of this property are beyond comparison. A charming cutting garden, lush fruit trees, and sprawling grassy areas create an inherently beautiful atmosphere. Paths wind through the property, which is dotted with quiet sitting areas that provide views of the stunning Wasatch mountain range. Original statues, an award-winning pool, and a sports court offer something for everyone. The ponds, pools, and creek keep the grounds cooler in the summer than other parts of the valley, which makes it even easier to enjoy the outdoors.
The spellbinding peg-wood barn was carefully constructed with attention to every detail. On the main floor, the three stall doors are salvaged elevator doors from the renown Walker building in downtown Salt Lake City. Wooden beams flank the tall ceiling and beautiful chandeliers provide a charming aesthetic.

Federal Heights Masterpiece in Salt Lake City, Utah - 1422 Military Way
As you drive through the charming, tree-lined signature streets of Federal Heights, you get a sense of the prominence and history that define this premier Salt Lake neighborhood. Completely renovated and updated in 2004 by the owner-architect, the home delivers oversized rooms and contemporary features within the architectural style of the period. Artfully designed, the timeless materials and the meticulous craftsmanship is extraordinary and unique. The outstanding attention to detail is evident throughout. An artist’s studio (or future guest house) was built on the .70 acre property at the time of renovation with a linear lap pool built in between. Framed by mature trees and a beautifully designed gardens and landscape, the view from every set of French doors (all five of them) presents a balanced, serene picture and invites the outdoors in. The floor plan is well designed and functional with a modern feeling. The living room opens into a family room with custom cabinetry and wet bar – ideal for entertaining. The professionally designed kitchen offers a sophisticated entertaining venue as well as a cozy dining area with a fireplace. A well-appointed formal dining room sits between the two and if the walls could talk, they would tell stories of spectacular dinner parties, celebrations and memorable events. The large master bedroom is a tranquil and sophisticated retreat. Two more bedrooms (one being used as a den currently) are on the same level as well as an additional full bath and laundry. Downstairs, there is an exercise room, large laundry/craft room, workshop, storage and flexible space. The artist’s studio is fully equipped with a kitchen, bath and laundry. There is garage space for three cars plus exceptional storage. State of the art plumbing, electrical and smart system technology and integrated speakers and museum quality lighting are found throughout this prestigious residence. The lifestyle is classic Salt Lake City with skiing, tennis, biking, hiking, golf, country clubs and the many outdoor activities this area is known for, within a short drive away.

Taking an Elevator to the California Academy of Sciences!
Salt Lake City
Dans mon imaginaire des Etats Unis, il y a les images de Starsky & Hutch que je regardais le dimanche après-midi étant enfant. Les ruelles glauques et la musique envoûtante de Lalo Schifrin. Le dernier jour de mon premier séjour aux USA, nous avions prévu d'aller visiter un musée auto à Salt Lake City. Sur les forums plusieurs personnes s'étaient plaintes de son ouverture aléatoire... J'avais pris rendez-vous pour être plus sûr. Dans un quartier d'une zone industrielle à moitié abandonnée, une sorte de boutique avec derrière plus un garage qu'un musée (d'ailleurs les véhicules sont tous à vendre) ... Le gars nous dit qu'il y a aussi des voitures dans les cour et (il a une télécommande à la main) de l'autre côté de la rue. Il appuie sur sa télécommande et plusieurs rideaux métalliques s'ouvrent en même temps laissant apparaître des rangées de véhicules ! Nous sommes seuls à sillonner les allées sombres, à frôler ces morceaux de l'histoire américaines couverts de poussière... Quel moment incroyable. Il ne manque plus que la Ford Gran Torino rouge à bandes blanches...
Life Under the Horseshoe Small Town Radio Show
This week we are in Spring City Utah, a beautiful 19th century Mormon village where Lawrence Gardner and Mark Allen are producing a classic radio show in the old vaudeville theater, Victory Hall which was restored by Lawrence and guests stay in the old hotel next door which has been restored by Mark. Spring City is a Civil War era village which has become an artist's community with many restored homes and buildings. And the radio show is classic radio, with a great old time small town theme.

Dover Elevator @La Quinta Inn Salt Lake City West, Utah
No Ride: Antique Otis? Hydraulic Manually-Controlled Freight Elevator at Palomar Inn, Santa Cruz, CA
I have been told this elevator still works, but I was not able to get permission to ride it, and I have been told it is turned off/disabled with a key switch in the elevator car (the elevator will not move from inside or outside unless the key switch is turned to enable the elevator to move). Unknown fixtures (may or may not be original). As far as I know, oil hydraulic elevators did not exist in 1929, so this elevator was either installed later than that, or it likely would be a water hydraulic elevator. I also don't know if hydraulic elevators with pumps in the building the elevator is in existed back then, or if this would have had to be a water hydraulic elevator running on city water pressure that would dump water into the sewer to go down.
Year installed: Circa 1929?
