Howard-Kimball-Cannon Home
This well-preserved Victorian Eclectic-style home was designed by prominent Salt Lake City architect Walter Ware and constructed in 1898. It is similar to houses at 77 and 79 O Street and 870 2nd Ave, but each has different window and porch treatments. The first occupants of the home were Edward Howard and his family. Edward worked for McCornick Bank and eventually rose to be chairman of Walker Brothers Bank. In 1907, Frank D. and Lucretia (Kitty) Heywood Kimball purchased the home and raised their daughters here. Frank was a banker and civic leader and Kitty was a leading Christian Science practitioner in Salt Lake City. Their daughter, Florence Kimball, an accomplished soprano, was a voice teacher at the Juilliard School in New York City for over forty years, training some of the United States’ most accomplished opera singers. The home was converted into four apartments in 1933. In the early 1980s, it was re-converted into a single-family dwelling and in 1986, Ken and Ann Cannon purchased the home and renovated it.
