The main house, at 181 B Street, is a four-story 26-room, sandstone and brick house built in 1898–99. It is a work of architect Richard K.A. Kletting. [2]

The "Small House", at 222 Fourth Avenue, is two-story pioneer era structure built with fired brick on a sandstone rubble foundation. It was probably built before 1880 and is one of the oldest buildings in The Avenues neighborhood. [2]

It was home of physician Dr. William Francis Beer (1870-1949), who was a charter member and honorary president of the Utah Medical Society. He also was involved in mining. During World War I he attended German prisoners of war at Fort Douglas, Utah. Due to his effort in bringing the men through the influenza epidemic without any fatalities, he received an Iron Cross from Paul von Hindenberg in the early 1930s. [2]
