The John B. Kelly House, at 422 S. 200 West in Salt Lake City, Utah, was built in 1865. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]

It was the home of John B. Kelly who had an early book binding and printing firm. It is one of only two known examples of its architectural type in Utah; the other, the Alma Staker House in Mount Pleasant, Utah is also NRHP-listed. It is a "temple-form" Greek Revival home that follows a pattern promoted by Minard Lafever. Although it is of modest size, the symmetric front design, with two story center and side wings, is imitative of monumental ancient Greek forms.[2]
