The Pink House on Mormon Row is a charming and historic structure located in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming. Built in the early 1900s, this iconic building features a distinctive pastel pink color, which stands out against the stunning backdrop of the Teton Range. Originally part of a homestead settlement established by Mormon pioneers, the house embodies the rustic charm of early frontier life.
When homesteaders John and Bartha Moulton made their way to Wyoming in 1907, they built a log cabin to start their new life among the Grand Tetons. Nearly forty years later, they decided it was time for an upgrade. Foregoing the logs, they opted instead for a sturdy stucco framework – but their cheery pink paint job was more of a happy little accident than a planned palette.
Bartha had spent some time in the hospital, and John wanted to cheer her up. Knowing that she had been longing to repaint the home, John selected the paint color he thought his wife wanted: a bright salmon-pink. Apparently, John chose incorrectly, and Bartha was not a big fan of the color. Ever a gracious gal, she ultimately opted to keep the pink exterior.
