The house was built between 1890 and 1900 and belonged to inventor John Moses Browning until his death in 1926. It gained recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
The residence reflects the success of John Moses Browning, whose innovations shaped firearm development and industry. The house served as a home for his family and left a mark on Ogden's local heritage.
The building sits in the Ogden Central Bench Historic District on 27th Street and now functions as a private residence. Visitors can view the exterior and surroundings, though they should respect that it is a private home.
After Browning's death the house stayed in the family until 1940, when it was sold and divided into apartments. It later served as a YWCA women's shelter in the mid-1940s, then as law offices, before being renovated back into a single private residence in 2001.
