Eccles Avenue Historic District

Eccles Avenue Historic District is a residential neighborhood in Ogden between 25th and 26th Streets featuring two-story brick buildings in Prairie School style. The structures have hipped roofs with deep eaves, recessed entryways with porte-cochères, and windows typical of that architectural movement.

The district was built between 1910 and 1930 when local architects shaped it according to modern Prairie School principles. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, becoming an important example of that architectural period.

The homes reflect Prairie School design principles that shaped how prosperous families lived in early 20th century Ogden. Walking through the district, you can observe how these houses defined residential life for the city's influential households of that era.

The district is best explored on foot since homes line the streets in a continuous sequence. Most buildings are visible from the public sidewalks, though you should respect private property boundaries while walking the neighborhood.

Marriner S. Eccles, who later became chairman of the Federal Reserve, lived in this district as one of its most prominent residents. His home and those of other influential business families like the Brownings and Wattis reveal the neighborhood's connection to Utah's economic leadership.
