McIntyre House

The McIntyre House is a residence in Salt Lake City built in the Greek Revival style with symmetrical facades and classical columns characteristic of late 19th century design. The building sits on East 7th Avenue and displays the detailed craftsmanship typical of homes constructed during that period.

The house was designed by architect Frederick Albert Hale and built in 1898 for its original owner Gilbert Peyton. William McIntyre purchased the property in 1901, and it subsequently served institutional purposes before returning to private use.

The house has been home to different institutions over the decades, reflecting how its interior was adapted to serve schools and hospitals before returning to residential life.

The property is now in private residential use and can be viewed from the street, though it is not regularly open to the public. Its location in an established neighborhood makes it accessible for walking tours and exploration of the surrounding area.

The first owner Gilbert Peyton was a successful entrepreneur who pioneered a method for extracting gold from sediment, which generated his wealth. His mining ventures in the region shaped the foundation for building this residence.
