It is only one single-family home — and a small one at that — but there’s a lot riding on this carefully restored bungalow in Salt Lake City’s historic Marmalade District.
The home at 528 N. Arctic Court originally went up around 1911 as a one-story duplex for railroad and factory workers in what was then a common style of residential construction.
More than a century later, few such examples of what officials now call “workforce housing” remain in Salt Lake City — even as the wider metropolitan area struggles with a severe shortage of homes affordable to those earning average wages.
