Edward and Lois Niiya Hashimoto Home

Edward and Lois Niiya Hashimoto built this house in 1908. Edward Hashimoto immigrated to the United States from Japan in 1890. In 1902 he and his uncle organized a general merchandise firm. Later he organized the Red Feather States, the Clearfield Canning Company, and invested in oil wells and mining interests. Lois Hashimoto was instrumental in raising money to construct the Japanese Church of Christ (268 West 100 South, National Register, 1982). Their son, Edward, became an instructor in gross and surgical anatomy at the University of Utah Medical Center.
