The John and Myrtle Ostler House, built circa 1922, is a one-story frame and clapboard bungalow significant for its association with Sandy City's historical development and as a rare, relatively well-preserved example of a wood bungalow in Sandy. Before the Ostlers, the owner was August Nelson, a local contractor who most likely built the house and deeded it to John and Myrtle for $2,400 in 1923. John and Myrtle both worked to support their family of seven children: John was an employee of Kennecott Copper Corporation and worked at the Magna Mills for twenty years, while Myrtle served for twenty years as a local news correspondent sending stories to the Salt Lake Tribune, Deseret News, and the Midvale Sentinel. The property was deeded to the Ostler children in 1950.
