This 1926 late Tudor bungalow Is typical of the houses built in Salt Lake in the late 1920’s and contributes to the character of the district. The owner, Nelson Ross Beatie, was a salesman for the Hoover Company.

Located at 116 4th Avenue in the City Creek Canyon Historic District of Salt Lake City, Utah.

Preservation Utah‘s pamphlet from the 53rd Annual Historic Homes Tour of the City Creek Canyon Historic District on May 18, 2024 said this about the home:

In December 1926, shortly after his engagement to Susannah Smith, Nelson Beatie applied for a building permit for this house. Local builder, Walter A. Stumm, constructed it as an English Tudor Cottage, popular in Utah at the time. Typical of the style are the house’s irregular shape, steeply pitched roof, windows with numerous “lights” (panes), and exposed chimney. English Tudor was only one of several Period Revival styles intended to evoke a certain romantic historicism in architecture. Both Nelson and Sue were musicians and engaged regularly in local cultural activities. Nelson was most noted for performing in the role of his grandfather, Brigham Young. Nelson and Sue lived together in the house until Nelson’s passing in 1958; Sue continued to live here until 1979. The current owners purchased it in 1981.
