Last weekend our very own talented Lauri had an exciting event. Her son got married and all of us at the office had the pleasure of attending the beautiful reception and luncheon.

The reception was held at the historic Eldredge Manor. The home was originally a stately home built in the early 1900’s for Afton Eldredge Moss, who’s father owned the Deveroux House in Salt Lake City. He built a special temporary railroad spur from his home to his daughter’s home in West Bountiful so that “his daughter could receive Salt Lake City society in style.”
I had the privileged several years ago to design the remodel and additions of this building. With the remodel the goal was to carry on the tradition as a place of entertainment while preserving as much of the original materials and fixtures as possible. To allow for larger parties yet preserve and compliment the main structure, a great hall and music room were added as wings to the East and West of the home. During the remodel workers uncovered hidden modifications made over the past 100 years that were not in the original floor plan. Bricked up windows were opened, extra wall taken down and false ceilings removed.




Talented landscape architect David Racker and I worked together to create an outdoor space for entertaining. His challenge was to dampen the noise from nearby I-15 which he did wonderfully.

The luncheon was held at non other than our favorite Herm’s Inn! Lauri and her husband as well as the bride’s father grew up in Logan so many of the guests had stories about their history and experiences with the original Herm’s Inn.

Thanks Lauri for inviting us to these wonderful events! And CONGRATULATIONS McKay and Emily!
