Ephraim Davis Sutton built the original T-cottage shortly before he married Fannie Sutherland in 1890. When he moved to Provo in 1898, his brother, William Davis Sutton, bought the home. The brothers were principals in E. D. Sutton & Company, the meat and grocery market on Main Street.

W. D. Sutton, his wife Susie Jackson Sutton and his children Willie, Edna, and Emma moved into the house in July of 1898. Tragically, Susie died in childbirth in 1900, but the child, Susie, survived. Sutton remarried Anna Schaper, a widow with two children, Lawrence and Lyndon. Between 1900 and 1907 Bill Sutton expanded the home and in doing so changed it's appearance. He added a north wing and removed a wall to make a large front room the Suttons used for entertaining, and which also housed his billiards table. Later he added a second floor, extended the front porch, added a central gable-roof section, and used gambrel-roof sections characteristic of Colonial Revival Style, to join the new gable roof to the existing house. This is the facade you see today. With the new additions, the home became one of the largest in Park City.

In 1924, Andrew L. Hurley, a mine foreman and superintendent, purchased the home. It was to belong to his family for nearly 40 years. The current owners purchased the property in 1989 and transformed it into the elegant bed and breakfast, the Angel House Inn.
