Salt Lake City Landmarks

Barker Addresses

The Barker / Davis Family (Grandpa & Nana) married in 1921 first lived in apartment over Great Grandpa Davis' store 140 N. 200 W. near West High in Salt Lake City
Next the family moved to 1360 Thornton Ave. Salt Lake City in 1925 just before Wayne was born
In 1936, after eleven years, the family moved to LA because of a job transfer and moved several times in the next few years.
One transfer was back to Salt Lake City in 1937 where they lived at 867 Roosevelt Ave.

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.
