Lewis A. Ramsey House

This one-and-a-half story Victorian Eclectic-style home was constructed in 1903 for well-known Salt Lake City dentist James B. Keysor. The home was then purchased in 1918 by Lewis A. Ramsey, one of Utah’s most prominent artists during the first-half of the twentieth century. Mr. Ramsey, although born in Illinois and educated as an artist on the east coast and in France, spent most of his life in Salt Lake City. The house at 128 South 1000 East, where he lived between 1918 and 1934, represents one of the most productive phases of his career. The house served as Mr. Ramsey’s primary residence as well as his studio. During the time he lived in the house with his family he received local and national acclaim. His works are still revered today, especially by the LDS Church, which gave him a number of significant commissions.
