It is a one-story cottage which was designed by architect William Wilson Fife in Queen Anne style.[2]
Fife was a brother-in-law of the original owner, Valasco Farr, who was son of Lorin Farr, the first mayor of Ogden. The house was built on a portion of property deeded to Lorin Farr by Ulysses S. Grant (why?).[2]
The house was the farmhouse of what was once a 3 acres (1.2 ha) farm.[2]
