181 Fourth Avenue

This two-story brick house was built by Matthew Noall for his family c. 1902. Noall was a carpenter and a partner in the family-owned lumber company. His work included such projects as the renovation of Brigham Young’s Lion House and the remodeling of the Salt Lake LDS Temple. Widowed twice, he and his third wife, Rose Edith Flashman, lived in the house until their deaths in 1950.

This building’s Neoclassical features include a large portico that was added c. 1912. Changes on the interior occurred c. 1915 when financial conditions of the Noall family required that the home be converted from a single-family residence to an eight-unit apartment complex. For the next 75 years the home would continue to serve as rental housing. With restoration of its original plan and features, the house has been returned to a single-family residence-winning a preservation award by the Utah Heritage Foundation in 2000.
