William T. Dinwoodey Home

This house was designed by noted architect Richard Kletting, who also designed the State Capitol. It was built in 1895 by William T. Dinwoodey, who worked for his father, Henry, the founder of Dinwoodey Furniture. William sold the house in 1900. It passed through many hands until 1932, when Albert J. Southwick, a classical musician, moved in. He organized and conducted many musical ensembles and lived in this house until 1958.

Richard Kletting did a lot of work for the Dinwoodey family.

Preservation Utah‘s “Kletting in the Avenues” Historic Homes Tour said:
Of the various Victorian styles, none was more popular across America and in Utah than the Queen Anne style. It reflected a new exuberance as Utah matured and moved out of its isolation to become more connected with the rest of the country. Certainly, the house is exuberant in its design with its irregular composition, variety of textures, decorative leaded windows, and prominent turret, a signature of the Queen Anne style. With all that, this house also presents a more reserved character with its Classical columns and pediment (triangular element) gracing the entry.
