Today we are going to talk about Park City's Historic District. As you are surfing this page, think about these question:

What is the Historic District? What different kinds of buildings make up our Historic District? What makes these interesting old buildings unique and special to Park City?

Just to get our minds thinking about buildings, let's do this little exercise. What is your very favorite building in the whole world? Maybe its your house. For some it may be your grandparent's house or a skyscraper like the Empire State Building. Maybe you love the way the McPolin Farm building looks or McDonalds, the Racquet Club, or even the Eiffel Tower.

Now, I want you to close your eye and imagine your favorite building. If you can't think of one then think of your house. Is it big or small? Is it tall or short? What color is it? What does the front look like? Does it have many windows or just a few? Is it brick? Wood siding? Is it made of stone or stucco?

Okay, keep your building in mind. Now I want you to get comfortable because we are about to look at some of Park City's architecture.
