Dr. Ellen B. Ferguson House
121 B Street

This one-and-one-half-story Victorian-eclectic house was constructed in 1887 for Dr. Ellen B. Ferguson. Ellen was the house physician at Deseret Hospital. She was also involved in the suffrage movement, organized the Women’s Democratic Club, and was the only female delegate to the 1896 Democratic National Convention. Also in 1896, Ellen became the first female deputy sheriff in the United States. In 1900, the year she moved to New York, she sold the house to Jane Robbins, a restaurateur who owned restaurants throughout Utah.
