Ellis R. Shipp House
This house was built c. 1903 and was purchased in 1905 by Ellis R. Shipp. Shipp was one of the first woman doctors in Utah, and her sixty year career as an obstetrician marks her as one of the most important women in Utah during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Through the school she established, she trained nearly 500 nurses and midwives from 1878 to 1938. She lived here until 1922.
711 East Second Avenue in the Avenues of Salt Lake City, Utah.
