The Fortunato Anselmo House, also known as the Ronald L. Beers House, is a house built in 1903 in Late Victorian style in Salt Lake City, Utah. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
It was built by a carpenter and contractor named Silas B. Wood at approximately $4,000 in cost. In 1920 it became home for Fortunate and Anna Anselmo, who owned it until 1950. It became significant as the residence of the country of Italy's "vice consul for Utah and Wyoming". Fortunate Anselmo, originally of Grimaldi, Italy, had become a spokesperson of Italian community as a newspaper owner, but sold the newspaper in 1915 upon being appointed vice consul. He continued to serve as an agent of the Bank of Naples, sending money orders from Italian-Americans of Salt Lake City back to their home country.
