Lucille was the first owner of this home, along with her husband Roy. She played the organ and enjoyed music, hunting, fishing, travel, and her family. Lucille and Roy had two boys, Max and Paul, who would have been 15 and 6 when the home was built.
Roy was a modern-day version of the Renaissance Man. He was, in succession: high school teacher and coach; farmer; Civilian Conservation Corps construction superintendent; founder of Menlove Construcion (creator and builder of the storied “Christmas Street” on Glen Arbor in Salt Lake City); chairman and for thirty years manager of the now departed World Motor Hotel in Salt Lake; first president and co-founder of Menlove Dodge-Toyota in Bountiful. For many years, Roy was president of the Utah Hotel-Motel Association. In that capacity, he traveled worldwide with his beloved wife, Lucille.
Roy was the developer for the Menlove subdivisions and their home was one of the first homes built in the Menlove subdivision when Lucile was 37 and Roy was 36 years old. They sold the home after five years and moved.
