505 3rd Avenue

Built in 1899, this house is an excellent example of the Victorian Eclectic style with classical detailing. It was designed by Walter E. Ware, a prominent Utah architect at the turn of the century, and built for John R. Tierman, manager of the Miner Assay Office. Several owners occupied this home between 1902, when Tierman left the state, and 1927, when it was purchased by Cady and Myrtle Putman. After Cady’s accidental death in 1940 while working for the Utah Construction Company in New York, Myrtle maintained this home through the 1970s.
