The history of Herriman
Herriman, Utah, grew from open field into subdivisions such as Rosecrest Place, where houses on West Larawood Lane were built in 2006. Nearby, Providence Hall Charter School, originally intended for neighbouring Bluffdale, relocated to Herriman before it ever opened.
West Larawood Lane in Herriman, Utah, holds two houses, 4978 and 4968, built in 2006 on ground once part of open field, now the Rosecrest Place subdivision. The nearest landmark, Providence Hall Charter School, was originally planned for neighboring Bluffdale and relocated to Herriman in late 2007 before it ever opened.
A charter school switched towns before its first day
The two houses at the address, numbered 4978 and 4968, have no dated story of their own. The nearest thing to a story sits a short walk northeast: Providence Hall Charter School.
The school almost wasn't in Herriman at all. Planners first placed it in neighboring Bluffdale. Late in 2007, before it opened, it relocated to Herriman instead. It became a full International Baccalaureate school. It ran programs from kindergarten through twelfth grade. Students were admitted by lottery rather than address.
A school added football, a gym, and a flood
The school kept adding pieces it didn't start with. In 2019, it added a football program for the first time. It built a stadium to go with it. Home games are played across town at Zions Bank Stadium. In the summer of 2022, construction crews broke ground on a major expansion behind the elementary building. The project added eleven classrooms, a weight room, a boardroom, and a full regulation gym with six basketball hoops. It pushed enrollment at the elementary school from around 800 students to around 900.
The growth wasn't without a setback. On October 28, 2024, a main waterline broke inside the high school building. Water spread through the gym, the stage, both main hallways, an elevator, and several classrooms. Students switched to online classes. They didn't return to the building until November 18.
Two houses rose on a former subdivision lot
The house at West Larawood Lane went up in 2006. County records give it 2,860 square feet on a tenth-of-an-acre lot. The listing names a building type and a build year. The field for who holds the deed sits empty in the county's own record.
The house next door, West Larawood Lane, carries the same blank shape. Both sit inside a subdivision built out in the mid-2000s, on ground that had been open field before that. The record stops at the numbers.
The deed lists a square footage and a year, and leaves the rest of the page blank.
