1153 2nd Avenue
Designed by S.W. Sears, this ‘box’ or foursquare type house with neoclassical detailing was built in 1905 by L.W. Riter for Noble Warrum, a prominent local journalist and historian. A non-Mormon from Indiana, Warrum was also active in politics, serving as a probate judge, a member of the Utah Constitutional Convention and a Utah state senator. The large, two-story examples of the foursquare were popular in Utah cities from about 1900 to 1920 and represent a clear rejection of the eclectic irregularity of the Victorian styles.
