From 1905 to 1925, the bungalow style, which is exemplified in this home, became popular in Utah and across the country. The style is traced to a house type in India that was noted for its large verandas. The bungalow was intended to be a comfortable-looking, low profile house, which communicated a sense of shelter. This new type of residence became an everyman’s house replacing the Victorian cottage of the 1880s and 1890s.

This bungalow style home was built in the early 1900s. In 1924 John H. and Nellie Johnson lived in the home. John worked as a railroad engineer. In the 1950s Frank C. and Phyllis R. Long lived in the home. Frank was a driver for Utah Timber and Coal and later a foreman for the state highway department. The Longs still lived in the home in 1978.
