Include. a disc'_lSsion of t.L1le original and subsequent owners, and dates and events associat ed with the building and the owners. The block of land on which the house stands (South Temple to First Avenue between D and E Streets) was originally owned by John Sharp. Mr. Sharp was one of three brothers prominent in early Utah. He was noted as an organizer of the Wasatch Woolen Mills and the Utah Southern Railroad (later incorporated into Union Pacific), as well as a politican, industrialist, and member of the Nauvoo Legion. Later owners of the plot included John F. Cahoon, a Curtis family, and E. H. Aries. Walter G. Tuttle bought part of the lot about 1900 and built the house in question about 1901. Governor William Spry and his wife Mary bought the house in 1911 and lived there until 1921 when they moved to Washington, D.C. In 1943, Mrs. Spry sold the house to · , J. A. Alder, and it has since been turned into partments. (.nou.> 0CA.)n-td b-y UH\\\~ A°"'l'\A~) f aI William Spry lived in this house during his years as governor of Utah (1909-1917). On Christmas Eve, 1916, some sticks of dynamite went off in back of the house which appeared, at first, to be the work of frightened burglars. However, the next morning, a neighbor. , Mr. Neslen, was sweeping the walks after a record breaking snow storm and discovered a bomb planted by the front steps of the Spry home. Fortunately, it was detonated before anyone was injured. The bomb was thought to be the work of the IWW. The IWW and other radical labor groups had been threatening Gov Spry for months ever since he had sentenced Joe Hill, the singing hero of the early labor movement, to death for murder--and then carried out the sentence in spite of pleas ranging from the labor movement to Woodrow Wilson himself. But the guilty party was never found and the attempted bomQing has remained a mystery. The week after this, Gov. Spry ' s term expired. His most visible accomplishment is the Utah State Capitol which was planned and completed during his tenure. (See attached summary) - 2 - .. 2.

  • “Building the Foundation for an Even Better Utah”
    “Building the Foundation for an Even Better Utah” 2014 State of the State Address Utah Governor Gary R. Herbert January 29, 2014 President Niederhauser, Speaker Lockhart, Legislators, Justices of the Utah Supreme Court, Utah’s First Lady, my wife Jeanette, and my fellow Utahns. We are joined this evening by our new Lieutenant Governor, Spencer Cox, and our new Attorney General, Sean Reyes. Let me take time to recognize the Lieutenant Governor’s Office, as well as the Legislature, for their recent investigations of campaign and election law violations. We must continue to require ongoing review of our election laws to ensure strict compliance. Upholding the public trust in elected office starts with demonstrating our election laws must be adhered to – and when they are not, there will be serious consequences. To everyone assembled here tonight, welcome to our State Capitol. This building symbolizes the pride we have in our past and the optimism we share for Utah’s future. In 1914, when Governor William Spry cemented the cornerstone in place, some wondered why the Capitol needed to be so large when Utah’s population was so small. The answer is simple. They were not building for what they were. They were building for what Utah could become. Just as they laid a solid foundation to make Utah what it is today, it is our responsibility to continue to build upon that foundation and make Utah even stronger. We are already seeing significant success in that endeavor. Two years ago, we set the goal to create 100,000 jobs in 1,000 days.
