475 3rd Avenue

This Victorian Eclectic-style house, built c. 1900, possesses Colonial Revival detailing and bridges a turn-of-the-century change in architectural style. It has unique massing and details such as the two-story tower-like front bay with a hipped roof, ornate Palladian and oval windows, and gables with no roof overhang. Fluted columns support the porch roof, and the shingled dormer above has flared sidewalls with bracketed returns.

The original owner, Charles E. Madsen, a clerk at ZCMI, lived here until 1904. The house was then rented to Patrick J. Earight from 1904 to 1905; Louis Lowenstein, owner of Merc Installment Company, from 1906 to 1914; and Nellie A. Jones from 1919 to 1934. In 1935, the house was divided into a duplex and continued to house renters.
