Scope and Contents

The David Keith Mansion, 529 East South Temple. 02:12.

Louise Degn's note: Terracor, the land-development company which occupied the mansion eventually went out of business. Their big poject, Stansbury Park (near Tooele) never took off and it took Tooele County another 30 years before it began to see large-scale growth. Unlike Devereaux and Wall, the Keith Mansion had been used as a home until the previous year. I talked to the home's last resident on the telephone. She was very helpful in telling me about the mansion but when asked why she sold it, she became disconcerted. Apparently, in polite society, one does not ask such things. The closing production elements are missing in this story. It should turn to black and white, freeze and old-fashioned scroll-work should frame the people to make it look like a photograph from the 1900 time period. Original script available.
