J. William Knight House

This 1910 structure has been described as an Italianate or Box Style home with Prairie Style influences. The house was constructed for J. William Knight and his wife, Lucy Jane Brimhall and remained in the Knight family until 1945. Knight, a son of mining magnate and entrepreneur Jesse Knight, followed in his father’s footsteps and served as an officer in many of the family companies. Upon his father’s death, he assumed control of most of the businesses. Knight was also active in civic, church, and political affairs. He was elected to two terms in the Utah State Senate and was defeated in a run for Governor in 1916.
