The Austin-Wherritt House was constructed in 1903 by Herbert Clegg for John E. Austin, a leading sheepman in Wasatch County. In 1908 Austin moved to Wyoming and sold the house to Dr. William Russell Wherritt, a Missouri native who for many years was the only physician in Heber Valley. The house is one of the most elaborate Victorian homes in Heber Valley and is now owned and occupied by Dr. Wherritt's daughter, Mrs. Dean Todd.
