This two-story house, a central block with projecting gabled bays, built in 1895, was designed in the Victorian-Eclectic style commonly found in pattern books of the era. The house was built by Frank A. Grant for investment purposes. In 1900, Harriet Penrose, wife of General William H. Penrose, purchased the house. William was commander of Fort Douglas during the 1890s. He retired in 1900 and spent the next three years in mining speculation and promotion. After William’s death in 1903, Harriett sold the property. It has had several subsequent owners.
