Drawn by eight horses, Float #9 in the Pageant of
Progress was "First House in Utah," designed by J. S. Anderson. "Work on
this house was commenced within a few days after the arrival of the
Pioneers. It was for many years the home of its builder, Mr. Albert
Carrington, and still stands at the corner of West Temple and First North
Streets in Salt Lake City." Smoke curled from the adobe chimney, a dinner
bell rang, and a clothes line hung with washing as this cabin on a hill
rolled down the parade route. (Donor: Sue Wagner)
