Houses of
Heber J. Grant

These are pictures of the houses that Heber J. Grant had lived in during his calling as an Apostle and then as Prophet. His father died not long after Heber was born, so he began working early to try to support his family. This work ethic is attributed to his successful career as a businessman, entrepreneur and land developer. He was called as an apostle at the young age of 25 on October 16, 1882. He was sustained as Church President on November 23, 1918.
