Taken from the book "AND THERE WERE BIG FIELDS AND FERTILE FARMS" page 223

A quarter section of land north and east from rhe corner of Thirteenth South and Nineteenth East was secured from the Government by Henry H. Harries in 1867, who built a one room log house on it. Being experienced in operating machinery, Harries was called to supervise or assist in the Woolen Millens on Canyon Creek, situated where the lower Country Club Golf Course is now located. While holding this position, it is thought he homesteaded the above described land. The log cabin which he built upon the property was occupied by John Davies and his wife until the year 1870, when Henry Harries and his wife, Mary, moved into the cabin. They remained in this little cabin while building the rock part of the Harries home, as it now stands at 1249 South Twenty First East. This house consisted of two rooms and a pantry, with a rock cellar under the main building. In 1880 one large brick room was added, and in 1886 the front part of the house was built. This home was undoubtedly the first permanent home in the Yale Camp district. The Harries farm was irrigated with water from Emigration Canyon and specialized in truck gardening, fruit growing, and dairying. He supplied Fort Douglas with milk, butter, eggs, vegetables and fruits. Sometimes during the eighties, at a fair in St. Louis, he received first prize for the best eggplant and potatoes exhibited.
