80 H Street
Constructed c. 1894, this two-and-a-half story Victorian house was built for Harry S. and Mamie Joseph. Harry moved to Utah from Cincinnati, Ohio to work for his uncle, Simon Bamberger, a railroad and mining magnate who later became Governor of Utah. Harry soon invested in his own mining and water companies located throughout Utah and Nevada. Active in politics, Harry served in the Utah House of Representatives and was Speaker of the House in 1907. He and Mamie moved to the Hotel Utah in the 1920s and kept the home as a rental property until 1942.

Jacob: This house is one of many in the Avenues designed by architect Richard K. A. Kletting. It is similar to his Godbe house on the east side of N. State about a block south of the Capitol. Both are featured featured in our book on him which will be coming off the press soon. Allen Roberts, FAIA
