Peter and Truilie Brown Home
This house was constructed in the early 1890s for Peter and Truilie Brown by the Angell brothers,
sons of Truman O. Angell (architect of the Salt Lake Temple). Peter Brown was employed doing a
variety of things, including operating a mine, dealing in livestock, and serving on the police
department. In 1910 Jesse and Amy Grace Smith bought the house. Smith was the president and
general manager of the United Grocery Company for twenty-five years and was active in many
civic organizations, including the Board of Education, the Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary Club,
Fort Douglas Golf Club, and the Congregational Church.
