Gallacher Home

The property at 170 North State Street is the original site of the home built for John R. Park, President of the University of Utah from 1869-1892. During the early 1900’s, the Park house was razed. In 1925, Edwin and Agnes Snow Gallacher purchased the land and contracted for this Tudor Revival style home with multiple gables and casement windows fitted with leaded lights. The front roof swoops in a graceful arc to form a brick enclosure for the main porch.

Gallacher, a retired U.S. Army sergeant who had served in the 1914 Mexican Campaign and World War I, married Ashby Snow’s daughter and associated with the Utah Portland Cement Company and Saltair Beach. His widow, now Mrs. Elmer Karren, still resides in the home.

Willard T. and Caroline Y. Cannon House

Constructed in 1918, this Tudor Revival Style house was built for Willard Telle and Caroline Y. Cannon, who had purchased the land from Loren Price Jr. in 1917. Character defining architectural features of the home includes its asymmetry, half-timbering, multi-gabled roof, and casement windows with leaded glass. Willard, a son of George Q. Cannon, followed in his father’s footsteps into the business world. After attending the University of Utah and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he became president and general manager of the Utah-Idaho Sugar Company. The home had been converted to a 4-plex apartment in the late-1940s and was carefully restored in a major renovation in 2014.
