Davis House, Rush Valley, Tooele County, UT period and moved to the site later. It is a long, rectangular, gable-roof frame building with wood drop/novelty siding only recently added. The second building is located to the southwest of the house near the road, and was also just recently moved to the site. It is a well house made from hexagonal cupola of a barn that was originally located in Kansas. It is also constructed of wood siding and has a hexagonal conical roof. The front and east side yard was recently planted with lawn, while the area west of the house is barren earth. The entire property is surrounded by several hundred acres of alfalfa pasture land and the yard immediately around the house is separated from the pastures by a pole and wire fence. The surrounding area is all farmland and houses and farms are situated far apart. Although many upgrades and alterations have been made to the David E. Davis House, they were all done with the intent of maintaining the historical integrity of the house while also being cost effective and environmentally efficient for the owners. The overall integrity of the house and setting has been maintained and the house is a contributing resource in the Clover/Rush Valley area. 2 This is according to the current owner. It is unknown when or if it was moved from another site. It can be seen in the background of the photographs for the original 1984 nomination. |
