George & Lulu Lee Stiehl House
966 E. South Temple 1901, architect unknown
This house features Colonial Revival details but lacks the symmetrical facade usually associated with this style. The front porch, front door, and two-story wood bay are all off-center and the windows differ in their size and treatment. Other unusual details include the double-hipped roof dormer, the corner column by the west second story window, and the scroll-sawn corner brackets under the eaves. The columns, brackets, and balustrade of the front porch are repeated on a smaller porch on the east side of the house.
The house was built for George and Lulu Lee Stiehl. A native of Illinois, George Stiehl came to Salt Lake City to practice dentistry. Lulu Lee Stiehl was a president of the Ladies Literary Club and the chairwoman of the building committee that oversaw the construction of the group’s South Temple clubhouse. Richard P. Morris purchased the house in 1907. A well-known businessman, Morris served as Salt Lake City’s mayor from 1904 to 1908.
