Their purchase included four apartments and four lots, and for two years they spent their time tearing out old walls and dilapidated arches (where they stumbled across an old Salt Lake Herald Her-ald newspaper that had Butch Cassidy and the Wild Bunch on the front page), getting rid of the hazard wiring, plumbing and old coal stoves. Keeping the original floor plan of the house, they then began the task of rebuilding everything to make their home into the Brown House. They changed the front porch and made it into their office. One of the apartments they made into their own home, the other three the Browns rebuilt and furnished to accommodate the visitors to Park City. In 1972 they felt that still more was necessary, and added to their home a living room, two bedrooms and a bath. Again, all the work was done themselves, including the installation of a marble fireplace. As of now, the Browns don't foresee any further additions to the Brown House.
