DESCRIPTION
The soil on the lot was really good and all kinds of fruit trees grew well there.HISTORY
John Lytle came to St. George in 1861 and built this house shortly thereafter. It was built of native materials, as were most of the houses of that period.Lytle's son moved into the house to care for an aunt who was alone. He built her a small new home on the north part of the block and she lived in that the rest of her life. When she passed away, Lytle's son and his family moved back into the original house.
The house was sold to George A. Holt.
Holt later sold the house to Israel & Effie Pace.
