Louis & Eugenia Terry House 1229 E. South Temple 1908, Henry Ives Cobb, Chicago/New York Nationally renowned architect Henry Ives Cobb designed the Terry House. Cobb’s best known works are in Chicago and include the Newberry Library, the Chicago Athletic Association Building, and the University of Chicago central quadrangle. He also designed the Boston and Newhouse Buildings in Salt Lake City’s Exchange Place.

The Terry House is one of Utah’s most formal and elaborate examples of Colonial Revival architecture. It is crowned by a wooden roof railing and a heavy cornice. Atop the projecting central bay is a pediment with a semi-circular fanlight. The first story of the bay is framed by a portico supported by heavy brick pier and wood columns. The front door features an elliptical fanlight and sidelights with delicate tracery.

The first occupants of the house were Louis and Eugenia Terry. Louis Terry, a well-known Salt Lake City businessman, owned a furniture store and a laundry business. Paul and Margaret Keyser purchased the house in 1920 and remodeled its interior. A large addition was made to the rear of the house in 1990, but the appearance of the facade from the street remains largely unchanged.
