Patrick & Mary Healy Home

Built in 1920 and designed by Howard Hewitt of California, this home was built for Patrick Healy, Jr. Mr. Healy was born in Ogden, the President of Commercial National Bank (Commercial Security Bank) and also as Vice President of Murphy Wholesale Grocery Co. He retired in 1928 and died in 1947. He married Mary Sodwick in Geinell, Iowa in 1903. Mrs. Healy continued to live in the house until she sold the house to H.Q. Holley in 1960. The design of this home is Old English (cottage style) architecture. The house has a high pitched roof punctuated by a series of dormer windows successfully contrasted with a stucco base to form an attitude of restful domesticity. The rounded arches, the tapered brick chimney, and a canopied entrance are remindful of an era of English Art Nouveau.*
