It was designed by noted Salt Lake City architect Richard Kletting, whose work included the Utah State Capitol. William T. Dinwoodey took out a building permit to construct this house in 1895.

Later he went into partnership with William J. Lawrence to form Lawrence and Dinwoodey, a mining stock brokerage. Dinwoodey lived here until 1900 when he moved to San Francisco, California.
