827 2nd Avenue

This simple, gable-roofed, one-and-a-half story, frame Victorian Eclectic house has ship-lap wood siding and delicate brackets around the east side, first-floor bay window. The house was built in 1891 for Thorvald and Dorothea M. Orlob. Thorvald was the Danish vice- consul in Salt Lake City, and worked as a bookkeeper at ZCMI, Dorothea continued to live in the house after her husband’s death in the 1920s. Thomas J. Bloomfield, a carpenter, bought the home in 1940 and lived here with his wife, Dora. The current owners, the Keddington family, purchased and have owned the property since 1972.

827 East Second Avenue in the Avenues of Salt Lake City, Utah.

Other members of the Orlob family lived at 133 I Street and 137 J Street.
