This is one of the cutest houses in the Sandy Historical District!
The marker on the house reads:
The Mary Ellen Parmley House, built c.1898, is significant for its association with Sandy's historical developement. The Parmley house is a typical example of a residence for the earliest working-class citizens of Sandy. This house is a simple one-story, wood frame, hall-parlor cottage which has had several additions the to west elevation.
Henry and Mary Parmley purchased the property from LeGrand Young. Henry worked as a cole miner in Carbon County for thirty-one years, and Mary apparently lived here with the children while Henry lived and worked at the coal mine. In 1921 Mary Parmley sold the property to Alma T. and Elizabeth Hansen Wright. The home stayed in the Wright family until 1972.
