Joseph E. and Mina Mickelsen’s one-story hip-roofed bungalow was built in 1929 on property now occupied by Draper City Hall. When built, the house was a showpiece, featuring the first colored bathroom fixtures and the first automatic watering system in Draper. When demolition threatened the home at 1020 E. Pioneer, community members worked to preserve it as an example of historic preservation for Draper. Through the efforts of Katie Shell, Lynn Kimball, and other members of the Draper Historic Conservation Commission, Rob and Jan Perry obtained the home in 2002. It was moved to its present location and carefully restored as office space in an identical orientation on property originally owned by Samuel and Verda Gray Crane, on land purchased for its relocation through the cooperation of the Lorna C. Rogers family.
