Constructed circa 1889, this historic 2 1⁄2-story Victorian Eclectic style dwelling was constructed for Frank A. Grant. Mr. Grant was a prominent commercial figure involved in life insurance, real estate, and mining. In addition to this house, Mr. Grant built several other homes in the area. In 1900 the home was sold to James F. Dunn, a well-known local businessman involved in mining and the railroad industry. Mr. Dunn owned the property for many years.

This two-story house, a central block with projecting gabled bays, built in 1895, was designed in the Victorian-Eclectic style commonly found in pattern books of the era. The house was built by Frank A. Grant for investment purposes. In 1900, Harriet Penrose, wife of General William H. Penrose, purchased the house. William was commander of Fort Douglas during the 1890s. He retired in 1900 and spent the next three years in mining speculation and promotion. After William’s death in 1903, Harriett sold the property. It has had several subsequent owners.
