Homes built in the Arts and Crafts or Craftsman style, like this one, drew their inspiration originally from the designs of southern California architects Charles Sumner Greene and Henry Mather Greene. The style was soon adapted and popularized across the country by magazines such as Good Housekeeping and Ladies Home Journal. From about 1910 to 1930, the Arts and Crafts Cottage was the most popular home style in the United States, and several examples can be found in Provo.

This Arts and Crafts style home was built in 1927. In the 1920s and early 1930s Frank E. and Effie Parson lived here. Frank was an engineer for US Steel and then a state engineer. In 1939 Harold and Catherine L. Anderson lived in the home. Howard was an attendant at the state mental hospital in 1924 but did not have an address listed. In 1939 he was listed as a salesman and in 1953 he was an agent for Beneficial Life. In the 1960s and 1970s Herman A. Long, a playground supervisor at the American Fork Training School, lived in the home.
