Holladay is going to lose one of its oldest homes. But its demise might help save other historic sites.

Brinton house’s fate is sealed, but the city is now working to get a preservation ordinance in place.

(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) The historic Brinton home at 4880 S. Highland Circle in Holladay, pictured on Friday, April 7, 2023, which is currently home to The Finishing School and offers sewing and cooking classes for kids, will soon meet its demise to make way for town houses. People who oppose the demolition of the home recognize there's nothing they can legally do about it, but they hope the city adopts a new ordinance in the future to protect other historic structures.
