$820K Midcentury Home With Hyperbolic Paraboloid Roof a Standout in Rural Utah Town

Realtor.com

A pristine midcentury home with a hyperbolic paraboloid roof in Providence, UT, has just landed on the market.

Listed for $820,000, the eye-popping structure was designed by architect Gilbert Eugene Haycock as his personal residence in 1967. Known locally as The Glass House, the iconic 2,888-square-foot home has had only one owner.

“The roof acts more like a bridge with its unique design,” says listing agent Heather Maughan, of North Realty. “When you walk in, there are partitions of room walls that do not go to the ceiling. It is about 3 feet below the ceiling, so it’s a very flowy, open space. Walls are usually designed to support the roof, so this is really unique to see.”

Inside, the Frank Lloyd Wright–inspired, four-bedroom home looks exactly the way it did when it was built decades ago. From the brightly colored shag rug to the Formica countertops, the retro interior offers a peek back in time.

“Everything in the home is original,” Maughan notes. “The fridge and range were original colors, but over time, those had to be replaced. There is also linoleum in the laundry room, office, hallway, and kitchen, and it’s in great shape.”

Clean lines can be found throughout the home. Vaulted ceilings are clad in natural wood. Enormous walls of glass offer views of the backyard and beyond. Built-ins are plentiful, including one adjacent to the windows that stretch from the kitchen to the office.

“This house is located in northern Utah in a town that is very rural,” she says. “It is on a corner lot, and there is an orchard on the front and back yards native to the land over 100 years old that produces apples and apricots.”

After serving in the Navy during World War II, Haycock got his architecture degree. Although he died in 2020 at the age of 93, his legacy can still be found all around town.

“He designed many properties in the area, including Romney Stadium, Logan Airport, and some of the schools,” Maughan says. “We have had two people look at this home who are very much design, artistic, and historic property curators. Both have said they would change nothing, and I think the community would love to see that.”
