Apartment Buildings & Hotel/Motel Building Types This typology for apartment building and hotel types is an outgrowth of our investigations into commercial architecture. Although aparment buildings have received some attention from historians in recent years, those studeis have been largely confined to such major cities as New York, Washington, and Chicago. Little of significance from these studies is applicable to Utah. Research into 19th- and 20th-century publications on apartments or hotels gives some general information, but again, little of it applies to Utah buildings. The following classifications were developed specifically for apartment buildings and hotels in Utah. This categorization system is based on the form of the building and its orientation to the site, and secondarily on the points of entry and the pattern of circulation within the building. Floor plans have not been studeis in detail. Thirteen majori types have been identified, most with subtypes, ranging from the double house to the “H” apartment block.
