Henry Dinwoody House, Victorian residence in Salt Lake City, United States
The Henry Dinwoody House is a single-family home in Salt Lake City featuring Late Victorian architectural elements, including a corner turret and decorative stone carvings on its exterior walls. The residence combines multiple stylistic influences into an asymmetrical composition created by a well-known local architect.
The house was built in 1890 for Sara Kinersley, the third polygamous wife of furniture merchant Henry Dinwoodey, and was designed by Richard Kletting, later architect of the Utah State Capitol. Dinwoodey had been jailed as a polygamist in the 1880s. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
Henry Dinwoodey, a Mormon, housed his third polygamous wife, Sara Kinersley, in this 1890 house. He was jailed as a polygamist in the 1880s. The house stands as a physical record of that practice in Salt Lake City.
This is a private residence, so visitors can only view the exterior from the street and surrounding sidewalks. The street-facing sides offer the clearest views of the architectural details.
