66 D Street

This Victorian eclectic style home was built in 1892. Character- defining features include the irregular plan, asymmetrical façade, complex roof silhouette, and turret. Elaborate detailing includes the fishscale patterned wooden shingle siding, stone lintels and sills, corbelled brick belt courses, a large fan light in the front gable, an ornate artglass window under the porch, and artglass transoms above the first floor windows.

Several prominent people in Utah history have lived in this house. It was built for John F. Cahoon, a building contractor. Henry W. Brown, a mining company official and banker, purchased the house in 1895 and constructed the barn and carriage shed. Emerson Root, Chief of Staff for Holy Cross Hospital, purchased the house in 1910 and sold it in 1940 to Ivor Sharp, Vice President of KSL Radio. Ivor and Marianne Sharp lived here until their deaths in 1972 and 1990 respectively.
