William Raymond House
The William Raymond house (The Victorian Rose); Raylene and Michael Linder, owners
Built in 1896 by William M. Raymond, it was said at the time to be Ogden’s most expensive residence. Raymond ran the city’s first ice cream parlor, from an on-site creamery and pavilion on the property.
The doors of this three-story Queen Anne house are noticeably crooked, and the sill is uneven; according to local stories, this “flaw” and curved interior walls were designed to confuse harmful spirits.
The current owners operate The Victorian Rose gift shop and tea room, on the first floor.*
1417 Washington Boulevard in Ogden, Utah.
