Built about 1900 for John P. Cahoon, this house is the finest example of residential Victorian architecture in Murray City. Cahoon was the principal founder of one of the first commercial brick manufacturing plants in Utah in 1878. Incorporated in 1891 as Salt Lake Pressed Brick Company, it is now known as the Interstate Brick Company, one of the largest in the Intermountain West. Cahoon was also important in the brick industry as the organizer of the Brick Manufacturers Association of America, as a member of the War Service Committee on Brick, and as a leader in establishing the first trade school in Utah, teaching brick laying to students.
