It was built for John Hood, who "was a merchant whose business operations primarily consisted of the Golden Rule Store chain in Idaho and Utah. As a young man in Wyoming, Hood was a co-worker of J.C. Penney, and ultimately he sold his eleven stores to Penney in 1927, upholding an agreement the pair had made while contemplating future successes in Wyoming." The Hood family retained possession of the house until 1977."[2]
