Alexander Herron and Mary Elizabeth White Herron's home

100 North Main in Tooele

The Home of Alexander and Mary [White] Herron – Tooele, Tooele County, Utah [An excerpt from the family history of Elmer Herron, written by a daughter, Blanche Herron Berry] .”..100 North Main Street – one of the first two-story homes built in Tooele. The stone used in building the house came from one of the nearby mountains, and Alex, Elmer's oldest brother, helped haul it. George Hammond's father started building it in 1873, and completed it in 1875...The Herron home was sold to Tooele City August 14, 1939. The deed was recorded March 9, 1940 in the Tooele County Courthouse. The Dr. Phipps residence next door to the south was also purchased by the city, and later the two homes were razed. A new city hall was constructed on the site and dedicated April 1941...Recalling his home in later life, Elmer told of the white picket fence in front, the poplar trees, the Honeysuckle bushes, the Sugar Plum tree, and the many other fruit trees. There were rose bushes, violets, and many other flowers, lovely shade trees and gardens. A stone granary was located behind the house with a high foundation and a cellar beneath it. At the back of the deep lot was a “dirt” cellar, dug five or six feet into the ground, and constructed with a roof covered with dirt. This made it cooler and it was used for storing potatoes and other vegetables. The home was built with high ceilings and thick walls. There was a front porch with scrolled trim. The large square entrance hall had one door leading into the parlor on the north, and to the south of the hall was the dining room. At the east side of the hall a stairway led up to three spacious bedrooms upstairs. A kitchen and pantry were on the first floor at the rear. It was considered one of the nicest homes in the city at the time..”
