Henry Maiben House

Henry Maiben House

This house was built in 1908. Henry and Flora Maiben purchased the property in 1890. In the 1940s Cal and Ruth F. Bee lived in the home. They bought it in 1939 and took out a mortgage that year. Although both Cal and Ruth took out the mortgage, Ruth is listed as the property owner. Cal was vice president of Stephen B. Hardware, a store at 354-364 West Center. The store sold “hardware, tools, guns and ammunition, sporting goods and fishing tackle, saddlery, harnesses, and all kinds of strap work.” By 1953 Bee was president and manager of the store and had moved to Orem. Parley G. and Dorothy Anderson then lived in the home. In 1953 Parley also had P. G. Anderson Plumbing in the home. His business offered “contracting, prompt repair, and Crane Quality Fixtures.” In 1965 he is listed as a plumber. In 1978 he was an employee of the State Plumbing Inspector’s office. Carol Wilson talked to Parley Anderson about the home. He explained he added the second story. He recalled a fire, and Wilson explained that there is still some damage on the timbers in the attic. Carol Wilson completely redid the home in 2004. It was on the Parade of Homes.
