A local historic district is the only designation under Utah law that can review demolitions. K.E.E.P. has helped six blocks earn it — more to come.
As part of our mission to help preserve the Yalecrest neighborhood, K.E.E.P. Yalecrest provides guidance for homeowners who wish to protect their area of the larger neighborhood through a local historic district (LHD) designation. This is the only way to prevent demolition of our historic homes.
