The J. C. Penney House in Kemmerer, Wyoming, was the home of James Cash Penney, the founder of the J. C. Penney department stores, during the 1904-1909 period that he developed his formula for a successful dry goods store.
Penney and wife moved to Kemmerer in 1902 and lived in the garret of a small house.
With a child, it was too small, and Penney bought this two-storey house in 1904.
[2] During this period he was operating the "mother store" of the future J.C. Penney empire.
