The home was built in 1907 by John A. Henrickson, a prominent industrialist in northern Utah. Born in Norway, Henrickson came to Utah as a Mormon convert. He began the Cache Knitting Works and his company revolutionized the manufacture of underwear and hosiery in Utah. It was the first factory to manufacture “union suits,” one-piece long underwear with a trap door in the seat. The success of the Logan plant allowed him to build the Ogden Knitting Works.*
