Staff and students at UVSC seek $500K to make historic farmhouse a campus cafe
Alex Caldiero, UVSC Artist in Residence, speaks with Helen Bunnell Weeks, age 81, about plans for a cafe in the house she grew up and was born in. The Bunnell Pioneer Home built in 1892 by Stephen and Mary Bunnell is what is left of a 60 acre farm in Orem and is now surrounded by the UVSC campus. It is the first home built in Orem. Some hope the building can be used as a cafe instead of a storage unit for desks and tools. The home features pioneer era building touches as well as an update adding skylights, modern restroom and kitchen. (Danny Chan La/The Salt Lake Tribune )
