Silver Row, Historic apartment building in Provo, United States.
Silver Row is a row of five single-storey brick apartments at 621-645 West 100 North in Provo, Utah, sharing common walls and one gabled roof across a frontage of about 120 feet. The central door has a window on either side, and the long windows sit under relieving arches with decorative infill. Wood pendants, arches and other Victorian detailing run along the facade.
The building was constructed in 1890 by David P. Felt and shows how lower-income housing was built in Utah's larger cities during the late 1800s. It reflects the way people organized residential spaces in Provo at that time.
The front shows Greek Revival details and Victorian ornaments that visitors can still observe on the facade. These decorative touches reveal what architectural styles mattered to people when the building was designed.
The building is easy to view from the street and the original facade can be explored from the outside. Visitors should know this is a private property not open for interior visits.
Silver Row is one of only a few surviving examples of row houses from the 1800s in Utah and was added to the National Register of Historic Places for this reason. Its preservation makes it rare evidence of how apartment buildings once looked in the region.
