Davis Addresses

Olivia (aka Olive) Van Cott was born in Ephraim, San Pete County,
UT. Before her marriage, the family moved to 1392 S. West
Temple. Two doors away from where she raised her family.
This is the home where Lucy and Lena Van Cott lived. |

Ruth Davis (Nana to the grand children) was born in the "Old
House" on 100 N. between 8th and 9th West near the fair grounds in
Salt Lake City. The house was built by Tom Davis for his wife
Olivia when they were married. Alma Davis and Edward Davis built
their houses one on each side of their brother. After Ruth's
little sister Afton was born, the family moved to John Van Cott's home
on South Temple, living up stairs from Grandma Lena Van Cott. They
were building a new house at 1350 S. West Temple. |
 |
John Van Cott's first home was on the corner of 1st South and West
Temple. This is where the Marriott Hotel now stands. He sold
this property for $12,000 so that he could build family homes near 13th
South and West Temple. |
 |
The area between 13th South and 17th South, and Main St. and 2nd West
was known as Van Cott territory. |
 |
Caroline Pratt's (third wife of John Van Cott) home was at 1481 S.
West Temple. Many of these homes still stood until Franklin-Quest
baseball field was expanded. |
