From Preservation Utah‘s Fairpark Homes Tour:
This address first appears in the city directories in 1894 as the residence of Eugene and Sarah Hillier Hodges. Eugene worked as an assayer. Both Eugene and Sarah were born in Salt Lake City to immigrant parents from England. The families lived just a few blocks apart. The couple was married in 1892 and lived with Eugene’s family for a couple of years. They moved into this house, which was presumably quite new, around the time of their first child’s birth in 1893. They had a second child while living in the house, and then moved to another home around 1898.

Architecturally, this house is a Victorian Eclectic cottage. It has a T-shaped plan with a bay projection on the front. This kind of bay front is typical of Victorian homes in the neighborhood built in the 1890s. The house is brick, which was originally exposed, but was stuccoed over at some point. The porch undoubtedly had decorative woodwork typical of the period, and there may have been other decorative elements that have been removed or obscured over time.

Like many homes in the neighborhood, this house served as rental housing for a variety of occupants – watchmen, clerks, laborers, students, and railroad workers – often providing transitional or affordable housing. In many cases, it functioned as transitional housing for young people just starting out, or for older people who were retired and living on a limited income. The Fairpark neighborhood has long provided affordable housing for residents, and this house demonstrates how such housing has been part of the neighborhood fabric for a long time.
