1029 East First Avenue
This house, constructed in 1891, is a Victorian Eclectic style house in a type known as a central block with projecting bays. The patterned shingles, arched dormers, and two-story turret with conical roof are features that add to the eclecticism of the design of an otherwise common type.
The house has had many occupants of various backgrounds. The owners include Edwin Miller, who was a representative of hardware manufacturers; Charles Morehouse, who operated a loan office; Vernon Fisk, a University of Utah professor; and Ben Beck, a printer for the Salt Lake Times. In the 1950s the house was divided into apartments, but was restored in the 1980s.
