236 I Street

Built in 1892, this is a well-preserved, two-story brick Queen Anne style home featuring Eastlake detailing. Predominant features include an octagonal tower, decorative brickwork and woodwork, elaborate front porch, and multiple roofs. The home was built by builder and architect Herman H. Anderson, who was responsible for several notable buildings in Salt Lake City. The original owner of the home was John Burt, a popular Salt Lake City plasterer in the late 1800s. He was married to Janet Hilton Burt, who lived in this house until her death in 1927. Mr. Burt died several years prior at the age of 40. The Burt family continued to own and occupy the home until 1941, when Sidney Roberg then took up residence here. Sidney and Jessie Roberg owned the home for several decades. In 1988, Scott Johnson purchased the property and extensively rehabilitated it over many years with his wife, Karen.
