1. John G. Tyler Home Marker

Inscription.
John G. Tyler, who was at various times a postmaster, manager of the Broom Hotel, County Recorder and Purchasing Agent for the Utab Construction Company, had this home built in 1898, and it is located in the heart of the Jefferson District.

The home is a premier example of the Queen Anne architectural style, which highlights wooden decoration and massive scale. The style of the architecture, the scale of the building and its massiveness clearly put this home within the context of the surrounding properties which contribute to the overall ambiance of the Jefferson District.

Erected by Ogden City Landmarks Commission.
