Chamberlain/Groshell House

This finely crafted one-story brick bungalow was constructed in 1914 by local builder Charles A. Newton for Herbert Chamberlain, a prominent Salt Lake City banker. Chamberlain sold the home in 1915 to Fremont and Belle Groshell. Mr. Groshell worked with his brother Oscar operating the National Cash Register Company in Salt Lake City. The Groshell family owned the home until Fremont’s death in 1921, when the home was then sold to Art Davies, a banker for the Banker’s Trust Company of Salt Lake City. The home is a contributing building to the Avenues Historic District.

This impressive Queen Anne style house was built in 1903 for Marvin W. Newcomb, a professional photographer, who lived here only two years. Subsequent owners included a Utah state treasurer, a bank president, a former U.S. marshal, and both grammatic and managing editors for the Salt Lake Tribune. The complex roof and building massing, corner tower, and detailing in the brick, windows, and woodwork, are characteristic of the Queen Anne style and contribute to the character of the historic district.
