The Thomas H. Carr Home

The Thomas H. Carr home is a California Bungalow style built in 1910. The roof has a rectangular plan and wood shingled gable peaks. The façade composition is symmetrical. The long, pitched roof covers a porch which stretches the full width of the façade. The porch rests on four massive brick supports with wide ogee-shaped wood arches between them. Unique leaded windows laced with Mormon crickets adorn the transoms and upper lites which appear on the first story windows., Thomas Carr was one of the founders of Rexall Drug Stores. Mr. Carr was a lifelong resident of Ogden. He operated the T. H. Carr Pharmacy, said to have been one of Ogden's most prosperous drug stores. He also served as a member of the City Council and was a prominent Mason and member of the Weber Club. He was a very tall man, and had a special extra-long claw-foot tub delivered to the home, which is still in place., After the death of Thomas Carr in 1919, Emma A. Carr continued to reside in the home until her death in 1926. Carr's daughter Viola May Carr Hinley and her husband Herbert W. Hinley continued to reside in the home. Their daughter Lou Ann Nelson inherited the property upon the death of Mrs. Hinley and later sold it to Frank E. Hammond. The home was purchased by Bonneville Title and converted to office space in the early 1980's. It was later restored by Charles and Tamara Anderson.
