HISTORY

This one-room adobe home was built around 1865. It measured 24 x 16 feet and was located in the Sand Town area of the city.

In 1994, it was owned by Clarence Amos & Madeline Empey Jones and was slated for demolition. Sydney di Villarosa, an active member of the Washington County Historical Society, arranged for the owners to donate the collapsing building to the city. Russell Bezette disassembled the building, numbering each of its pieces. With funds from the George S. & Delores Dore Eccles Foundation, Bezette reassembled reassembled the building six years later on the plaza at the Pioneer Center for the Arts.

The home is available for tours.
