Virtually all of these houses
were built with shake roofs, though
most have asphalt shingle today.
Have your inspector check beneath
those shingles. If they were laid atop
the shake, it will drastically cut the
shingle's life. That is especially true
if vents were not installed during
re-roofing. Shake roofs breath. But
once covered by asphalt shingles,
attics heat up fast. The shingles will
buckle and curl in a few years.

| Sugar House Cottages Are Cute |
| These post-World War II boxes were built by the thousands above 1500 East in Salt Lake City and throughout Highland Park. They are the most affordable real estate in the Sugar House area, if only because of their size. They are tiny, averaging about 800 square feet per floor. Don't look for formal dining in these houses. Some are so small they don't even have room for a kitchen table. Most cottages have one-car garages. |
| Quirks: |
| WHEN: Cottages were built en masse after World War II, most in the early 1950s. WHERE: The highest concentration of cottages were built between 1700 South and 2100 South above 1500 East. You can find the style throughout Highland Park, as well as higher up in parts of Canyon Rim. |
