475 3rd Avenue

This Victorian Eclectic-style house, built c. 1900, possesses Colonial Revival detailing and bridges a turn-of-the-century change in architectural style. It has unique massing and details such as the two-story tower-like front bay with a hipped roof, ornate Palladian and oval windows, and gables with no roof overhang. Fluted columns support the porch roof, and the shingled dormer above has flared sidewalls with bracketed returns.

The original owner, Charles E. Madsen, a clerk at ZCMI, lived here until 1904. The house was then rented to Patrick J. Earight from 1904 to 1905; Louis Lowenstein, owner of Merc Installment Company, from 1906 to 1914; and Nellie A. Jones from 1919 to 1934. In 1935, the house was divided into a duplex and continued to house renters.

James Mulryan Home

120 O Street

This one-and-one-half story residence was apparently built c.1906 by James Mulryan, a prominent carpenter-builder throughout Salt Lake City. He and his wife, Mary, sold the house in 1907 to Anna S. and N. Edward Liljenberg, a Swedish-trained architect who designed many commercial and public school buildings as well as private residences in and around Salt Lake City. The Liljenbergs sold the home to Albert and Emma Bennett in 1912, after which it was used as a rental property through 1946.

THE BRIDGE BUILDER
An old man, going a lone highway, Came at the evening cold and gray, To a chasm, vast and deep and wide, Through which was flowing a sullen tide. The old man crossed in the twilight dim- That sullen stream had no fears for him; But he turned, when he reached the other side, And built a bridge to span the tide.

“Old man,” said a fellow pilgrim near, “You are wasting strength in building here. Your journey will end with the ending day; You never again must pass this way. You have crossed the chasm, deep and wide, Why build you the bridge at the eventide?”

The builder lifted his old gray head. “Good friend, in the path I have come,” he said, “There followeth after me today a youth whose feet must pass this way. This chasm that has been naught to me To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be. He, too, must cross in the twilight dim; Good friend, I am building the bridge for him.”
