The original first floor of this home was built by Frank and Mountain Daisy Pitt Harding. Frank purchased the lot for $150 in June 1890, the same month he married Mountain Daisy, and obtained a mortgage of $600 to build the t-cottage. Frank was assistant Postmaster to Albion Emery, the Silver Queen's husband, and succeeded him as Postmaster about 1884. Frank also operated a store on Main Street and was an officer in the Knights of Pythias. Frank and Daisy sold the home in 1896 for $800 and moved to Seattle with their two sons, where Frank died in 1930. Walter and Atlissa Scott, the home’s next owners, built the second story addition sometime after 1900. Walter emigrated from Denmark in 1865 and worked as a clerk at one of Park City’s mines. He married Atlissa Scoville on August 11, 1887 and they lived here with their two sons. Atlissa sold the home for $525 in 1912 after Walter died.

Two story t-cottage (or cross-wing) houses are uncommon. The second story front porch on the cross-wing has been enclosed, but the bay window on the stem-wing is original.
