This house was built in 1889, confirmed by the insulation - newspaper from that year.  John Johnson purchased this home from Andrew and Amanda Wickman and he lived here in 1900 with his widowed mother, Isabella and sister Nelllie.  Isabella had emigrated from England in 1870 and John was born in Iowa in 1879.  John worked as a millman at a concentrator, possibly the Union Concentrator located south of this house on Daly Ave.  John married Annie and they lived here until they sold the home to Fred Gillett in 1914.  Fred was the nephew of David Baxter at 10 Daly.

This t-cottage was built in the late 1880s, when t-cottage floor plans were at their height of popularity in Park City.  Originally a porch was situated on both the front and rear of the stem-wing, but by 1900 it had been enclosed, probably with a rear lean-to shed.  The roof line of the stem-wing has been modified to accommodate the recent second story addition.
