The house was constructed ca. 1903 for Mormon leader, historian, and politician Brigham Henry Roberts and his third wife, Dr. Margaret Curtis Shipp. Roberts served as a member of the First Council of the Seventy and as a mission president. In 1898, he was elected to the United States Congress but was refused his seat due to his polygamous practice. Roberts was working as Assistant Church Historian while living at 77 C Street, during which time he edited the History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (1902-1912) and wrote what became A Comprehensive History of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (1930). Shipp, an obstetrician, was one of the first female doctors in Utah and assisted in organizing the LDS Relief Society Nurse School. The couple lived here until 1922. The home features a stepped front gable with corbelled brick caps, and two-story Doric columns, showing the influence of the Dutch Colonial Revival style.
