Old Town Park City Homes

^{Luxury Historic Homes}
Old Town homes are always in high demand. The Old Town area starts at the Park City Municipal Golf Course, advances past the City Park over to Park City Mountain Resort, and up to Deer Valley. At the center of Old Town is the Park City Historic District which spans from the top of Main Street and nine blocks. Old Town homes are distinctive as the area remembers its small mining town history. The streets of Empire, Lowell, Woodside, Park Ave, and Ontario are lined with narrow and skinny luxury homes built or restored to reflect the historical architecture of the late 1800s. Real Estate investors are attracted to Old Town for the close location to skiing, vibrant Main Street, and the high occupancy rates for short-term rentals. As a result, Old Town homes are always in high demand. Since Old Town is between Deer Valley Ski Resort and Park City Mountain Resort, you can reach either within five minutes, and The Canyons Village will take not much longer traveling down Highway 224. There are real estate options for everyone in this area of Park City.

^{Park City Moving}
In 1893, laborers in Park City formed the Western Federation of Miners Union #144. One of the concerns of the miners was to address the need for healthcare due to the dangers of mining and the town's remote location. The union began to raise funds for a local hospital and In 1904 the Park City Miners Hospital was built for the sum of $5,000. The one-acre real estate parcel was donated by Mrs. Eliza Nelson and located at what was then the north end of town, also known as Nelson Hill. It was deemed suitable because of its distance from fire danger and city noise, and its maximum degree of sunshine and fresh air would be ideal for patients. The site is now the northwest corner of the parking lot at the Park City Resort near Thaynes Canyon. What do we say in real estate; location is everything!

The Miners Hospital served Park City's medical needs for thirty years under the Union. In the 1930s it was sold and run as a private clinic until the 1950s, then vacated. In the 1960s the building was renovated to house a bar, restaurant, and Youth Hostel. In the late 1970s plans were made to demolish the hospital and develop the real estate land into condominium units, a hotel, and a conference center. Responding to citizens' concern that the building should be preserved, the structure was moved from its original location in October 1979. It took two days to move the 400-ton building to its present location at City Park on Park Avenue. Renovation began in 1981 and by September of 1982, the project was complete. The building is listed in the state and national registers of historic places. The restoration has received recognition from the Utah Heritage Foundation and the National Trust of Historic Preservation.
