Another of the historic homes located in the University Neighborhood Historic District.

This Victorian Eclectic style house was constructed c. 1893 for Frederick W. Little, a Salt Lake real estate agent. The house was used for a rental throughout much of its early history, with its primary tenants being U of U students. Charles H. Post, a tire salesman, purchased the home in 1918. The home was sold to Waide Condon, a newspaper reporter and editor, in 1935. In 1948, Condon sold the home to notable newspaperman, John W. “Jack” Gallivan. Gallivan lived his professional life working in nearly every department of the Salt Lake Tribune. In 1960, he would become the paper’s publisher, a role he would keep until 1984 when he retired. He and his wife, Grace Mary, had four children: Grace, John W. Jr., Michael, and Timothy. Jack Gallivan helped built the Salt Palace, pave the way for the 2002 Olympics and the Utah Jazz, and put Utah on the tourism map. His name is memorialized on the Gallivan Center. Gallivan entertained many national dignitaries in their home, including Jack, Bobby and Ted Kennedy.

Another of the historic homes located in the University Neighborhood Historic District.

This two-story house was constructed c.1904 for Justus and Matilda Jungk. Mr. Jungk worked as a manager for the Improved Brick Company of Salt Lake City. The company manufactured various types of brick for local construction, and its brick likely was used in this dwelling’s foundation and exterior walls. The architectural features include a hip roof with a centered gable dormer, a large projecting bay on the south facade, and a broad hip-roofed porch with paired columns. The house retains its historical integrity and is a contributing resource to the University Neighborhood Historic District.

Dr. Leo F. and Irene S. Hummer House

This house was constructed in 1913 for Leo Francis and Irene Stark Hummer. Dr Hummer was originally from Iowa and made his way to Utah in 1905 to serve an internship with Holy Cross, an early Utah Catholic hospital. Dr Hummer served as a physician in Utah until his death in 1946. Also active in politics, Dr. Hummer served two terms in the Utah State Legislature during the 1930s. Mrs. Hummer resided in the house until 1949, when it was sold to Rutherford and Anna Rowell. The bungalow swelling retains its historic integrity and contributes to the character of the University Neighborhood Historic District; key features of the home include its sleep multi-window shed dormer, exposed rafters, dentilled cornice, recessed full-width front porch, and half-timbered rafter ends.

Built in 1913, this two-story house is a good example of a foursquare Prairie-style dwelling.  It was originally built for James A. and Dora W. Lynch.  Mr Lynch came to Utah in 1909.  In 1911 he helped organize the Lynch-Cannon  Engineering Company; he later organized the Lynch Construction Company and became City Engineer in 1923.  In 1924 Robert H. Bradford, a metallurgy professor at the U of U, purchased the home and lived here for many years.  His daughter, Nettie Bradford, later resided here.
