Property Description
The "Formica World's Fair House," situated on the only hill at the 1964 fairgrounds in New York, was the first house to use Formica laminated plastic on exterior walls! (don't panic, not on this home!). In the model, Formica products were used throughout - on furniture, cabinets and interior walls, with contemporary styling, and was offered for $25,000-45,000. The ad said: "Formica World's Fair Model Home, a ranch house that gave visitors a glimpse into the wide applications of its miraculous Space Age laminate and considered this dream home for tomorrow's living today is nothing short of delightful!" The 1964 model home, which was previewed in a 14-page article in Good Housekeeping invited guests to ooh and aah at all that could be done with Formica, that now widely used material that was then poised to take over tables and countertops the world over. Locally, architect and U of U professor Jim Christopher (recently deceased) who designed such well-known spaces at Snowbird, Kol Ami Synagogue, Nunemaker Place and the Rowland Hall campus created this design in Salt Lake City and now you have the opportunity of a lifetime to own this unique property in the Northcrest neighborhood (aka 'Pill Hill')! The design emphasizes natural light throughout on both levels of the home including roof skylights and an activity terrace just off the kitchen for light from the rear yard. This can be your FOREVER home and there's main level living with laundry and a walk-out basement with a kitchen. Good sized rooms throughout but also allowing for privacy from each other. Bosch appliances in the kitchen, xeriscaped front yard, tons of fruit trees, 32' X 10' lap pool and lean-to for pool equipment behind the garage.
