Built in 1913, this two-story house is a good example of a foursquare Prairie-style dwelling.  It was originally built for James A. and Dora W. Lynch.  Mr Lynch came to Utah in 1909.  In 1911 he helped organize the Lynch-Cannon  Engineering Company; he later organized the Lynch Construction Company and became City Engineer in 1923.  In 1924 Robert H. Bradford, a metallurgy professor at the U of U, purchased the home and lived here for many years.  His daughter, Nettie Bradford, later resided here.
