Preservation Utah‘s “Kletting in the Avenues” Historic Homes Tour said:
Given the grandeur of the other houses on the tour, this Kletting design stands out as something of an anomaly. Its relatively modest character is perhaps attributable to the fact that the couple who commissioned it-Emily and Fred Stockdale-were members of Salt Lake’s middle class, although Kletting did generate various versions of this design throughout the city. Fred was a clerk at R.K. Thomas Dry Goods and later at Cohn’s Dry Goods.

Following the home’s construction in 1899, the Stockdales lived here until 1928 when they moved to Phoenix after Cohn’s closed. After passing through a couple of owners, it was converted to apartments in the mid-20th century. More recently, it has been reconverted into a single-family home.

More modest than its counterparts on the tour, the Stockdale house nevertheless shares some basic Victorian characteristics-an asymmetrical façade, a prominent bay window, and decorative posts and trim along the porch-although the low, hipped roof and tall, narrow windows are carry- overs from the earlier Italianate style.
