The house at 1211 East 100 South was built for Almon and Theodosia Noble Kent Covey in 1909 (designed by Ware and Treganza). Almon Covey was president of the Covey Investment Company, founded in 1806. The Coveys were responsible for constructing several large apartment buildings that throughout Salt Lake, as well as participating in other real estate interests as well. He also owned and operated a ranch at Coalville and had other ranches in Wyoming. His wife, Theodosia, whom he later divorced, lived in the house until 1963. She was active in civic and church duties and was a member of the Ladies Literary Club, the Towne Club, the University of Utah Mothers Club, and the Salt Lake Country Club. Hyrum, Almon’s younger brother, and May Rowberry Covey, commissioned Ware and Treganza to design their house at 1229 East 100 South. Hyrum was also involved in the Covey Investment Company.
