National Register of Historic Places - Christopher Cramer House
Statement of Significant: This structure is significant as one of only two single family residences remaining in the downtown area. It documents not only the probable presence at an earlier time of other single family residential architecture in the area, but also the combination of homey residence and business in one structure in the business district. Christopher Cramer built the home in 1890. It served as not only his residence, but also housed his floral shop. Cramer was born in Denmark, December 1, 1851. He came to Salt Lake in the 1860’s and became florist. In 1897 Cramer sold the house to E.F Crandal and moved his business to another location in the city, The corner of 15 South and 3rd East. Cradal sold to Mary K. Jost the same year. In 1905, Jost sold to John E. Johnson. Johnson operated Scandra Grocery Store near by at 156 E and South. Johnson was a partner of August H and Alma Erickson. Johnson sold this home to Erickson in 1932. Erickson lived here until 1944. The Savings Bank Co. owned the home after Ericksons. Zions sold the home to Geory and Nilsson in 1958.
