Scope and Contents

From the Collection: The Montmorency, Hayes and Talbot collection (1902–1980) consists of architectural drawings, prints, proposals, and ephemera related to 1174 specific projects across Utah (92% of the collection’s projects), adjoining states (CO, ID, NM, NV, and WY), and further afield (CA, HI, IL, MT, and OR). The projects were designed not only by Montmorency, Hayes and Talbot Architects (4% of the collection’s projects) but also by predecessor individuals and firms notably Ashton & Evans (42% of the collection’s projects); Ashton, Evans and Brazier (25% of the collection’s projects); Ashton, Brazier, Montmorency & Associates (5% of the collection’s projects); and Brazier, Montmorency, Hayes and Talbot (2% of the collection’s projects). Many other prominent Utah architects and architectural firms are represented in the collection, including Hodgson & McClenahan; Joseph Don Carlos Young; Miles E. Miller; Pope & Burton; Scott & Welch; and Woolley & Evans.

The collection includes drawings of many structures on the National Register of Historic Places, including among many others: Salt Lake City Library, Sprague Branch; Kaysville Municipal Building; Draper Park Elementary; and University of Utah Thomas Library and Union Building. New Deal projects (Avalon Grade School, Heber City Library, Park City Community Building, Rich County Courthouse, and others) and World War II projects are both amply represented.
