1219 East 400 South in the University Neighborhood Historic District in Salt Lake City, Utah

  • mentioned in University Neighborhood Historic District:
    Representative examples of the Period Revival styles include the house at 1219 East 400 South that was built in 1929, probably as a speculative house, by Henning Henderson. The steep gable entrance and tudor arched doorway in this brick house is typical of the English Cottage. The one-story house at 1155 East 400 South is another model of a English Cottage that has included decorative brickwork on the bottom wall courses and brick lintels. It was built c.1932 by Tressa A. Dontre. The house at 175 South 1200 East is a one-and-one-half story version of the Tudor Revival style. The builder and first resident of this house was Glenn R. Bothwell, a developer who also built several other residences in the neighborhood.

Lizzie V. Sutton House

Lizzie V. Sutton House

Built in 1903, this house was owned by Lizzie V. Sutton until 1934. Hattie S. Moorfield owned the house until 1967 and there have been eight different owners since. The structure is an intact example of the Victorian Eclectic style, with the exception of an addition that connects the house to the brick carriage house. However, this addition is toward the rear of the lot and is partially obscured by vegetation. This house contributes to the overall historic character of the East Center Street neighborhood.

Build South and West

Build South and West

In 1854 Brigham Young, standing on this corner, said, “Build south and west.” It was the fourth location for the settlement of Cedar City, the others being the cove north of town, across the road and to the west of the cove, and the old fort.

Isaac C. Haight, the Iron Works manager, acquired this lot on which Elias Morris built him the first fire-brick and cement mortar home in the Utah Territory. Many prominent people were entertained within its walls.

Ambrose P. Merrill House
ca. 1940s

Described as a particularly handsome and unusual bungalow, this house was constructed by Ambrose P. Merrill in 1912. Merrill served as General Manager of the Knight Consolidated Power Company and later became a division manager of Utah Power and Light. From 1919 to 1925, Isaac Jacob, a Director of the Utah Wool Grower’s Association, owned the home. William Hornibrook, who served as U.S. Ambassador to Siam, Iran, and Costa Rica during the Woodrow Wilson administration, purchased the home from Jacob. Hornibrook owned the Provo Herald and other newspapers. Edwin Firmage, who founded Firmage’s Department store in downtown Provo, also is a past owner of this house.
