Use continuation sheets as necessary: This foursquare adobe with a pyramidal roof has lost nearly all of its character defining elements and features. All of the windows save for one in the rear have been replaced with aluminum sliders, and some of the window openings have been altered in size. In a ca. 1940 tax photo the two windows on the facade appear to be smaller than what exists today, both with three part casement type wood windows. The house also appears to have had exposed rafters at the roof line and a simple front porch with a single wood pole supporting the roof at the south east comer. The outbuilding to the north east also exists in this tax photo. The ca. 1976 tax photo shows the house as it appears today (1995). The windows on the facade have been significantly enlarged; the knee walls and flower box are present; the splayed concrete column has replaced the wood post and the 'decorative' stone veneer appears at the base of this column. These alterations may have been done during the 1950s. The overall massing of this house remains intact, there are no additions and the porch has not been filled in. However, the alteration of the window openings and addition of the knee wall to the front porch change the overall appearance of this simple vernacular home.

In September 1850 a company LD.S. pioneers led by Aaron Johnson were sent to Springville to settle the area. The first winter was spent in a 11/2 acre log cabin fort. In the spring of 1851 farm plots were laid out, and through a community effort, an irrigation system was constructed. In 1852 the Springville city charter was approved by the Utah legislative assembly, and by the mid 1850s Springville was an established pioneer community. By 1853 the city had been surveyed, with lots measuring 206.25 feet square assigned to families by way of a lottery. Due to the limited availability of water irrigated crop land was restricted to 20 acres per family. The pioneer settlers, and those that soon followed, brought with them a diversity of practical skills such as carpentry, masonry, and blacksmithing. Three brothers, John, Alex, and William Nichols were known as 'the adobe boys' and are credited with initiating the manufacture of adobe bricks in Springville. Due to the scarcity and high cost of other building materials, adobe was widely used for building during the pioneer period. Civic improvements were carried out by the pioneer settlers. In 1853 a new county road was built which connected Provo and Payson, and the following year a new, expanded eight foot high mud wall was constructed around the entire city which included an area three quarters of a mile square. In 1851 a flour mill was built, then in 1856 an adobe school house was built, followed by a two story wood frame cotton mill and a small molasses mill both built in 1865. Springville's first mercantile was reportedly a small store opened in 1852 within the fort walls. Other stores and a dry goods company opened in the following years. As of 1867 the population of Springville stood at 2,000. City directories revealed resident's occupations and businesses which included five blacksmiths; five shoe makers; a cabinet maker; several carpenters and builders; a druggist; two grist mills; three saw mills, one painter; one postmaster; one syrup manufacturer; two tanners; one wagon maker, and three dry goods / general stores. In August 1871 the mayor of Springville, Cyrus Sanford, granted the land on which this house is built to James T. Lisonbee. Three months later Lisonbee sold this portion of the land to Sophia A Wing and her children Signa Sophia Wing and Frederick Wing. On January 21, 1886 the estate of Signa Sophia Wing and Frederick Wing issued a guardian deed to Moroni Childs. That same day, the property was sold by Moroni Childs and Joseph Blackett to Moses Johnson for $250.00. In August of 1900 Moses and Anna Johnson deeded the property to Stephen D. Johnson, Moses' brother. Stephen held the property until 1909 when he sold it to Mary Packard. A quit-claim-deed was recorded against the property in 1920 by Hannah P. Hall to Bertha M. Dudley. Later that year a warranty deed was recorded with Bertha Dudley; Clara Beardall and Oliver McCurdy selling the property to Francis Beardall. A decree was issued in 1928 by all survivors of Signa Sophia Law which released the property to Francis Beardall. In 1941 Francis and Alice Beardall sold the property to A. Aaron Larsen. Aaron and Sylvia Larsen held the property until 1985 when it was deeded to Max and Everett Larsen, who in 1986 sold it to Wayne and Reen Cutler. The Cutlers sold the property to Yvonne Palmer in 1989, who sold it to the current owner, Zions First National Bank, in 1990. Moses Johnson was born in Springville in 1860 to Aaron Johnson. Moses was a brother of Don Carlos Johnson. In the early 1880's Moses, along with his brother Don Carlos, organized the Johnson Dramatic School, and built the first theater in Springville. Moses traveled throughout the western United States and Canada with a stock company, teaching drama classes and directing plays in which he was the lead actor. He married Annie Kearns. Moses passed away on Thanksgiving day in 1936. 1 1 D.U.P.

(1) Architectural Description: The descriptions are well-written and it is apparent that the buildings have been scrutinized and thoroughly discussed. However, we do have some questions about some of the buildings. Please see site forms and discussion below for specific and general questions. (a) Dates of construction: There is some concern about the given construction dates. While tax record dates can be useful in helping to determine dates of construction, they are often inaccurate. Title search information did not always support the tax record date. By piecing together tax records, title search, Sanborn maps, physical inspection, and biographical information, a relatively accurate construction date should be determinable. If there is no other way to identify construction date other than the tax record, please include a statement to that effect. (b) Interiors: For those buildings to which you have had access to the interior, please include a brief description of the interior. Things like whether or not it has been substantially altered or if the original plan and/or woodwork appear to be in tact, are good to include if known. (2) Histories: While some of the histories are fairly thorough, discussion of the people for some of these properties is limited simply to transfer of title information. Please expand with biographical information. Obituaries: After randomly selecting three people (David P. Brinton, Bessie Bailey, and b. B. Huntington) from the files, each of those people's obituaries were found and copies were made and placed in the ~. · ar~ loo~ies files. We requesting that you who have not yet been well-documented. help locating these. for those people Please let us know if you need (3) Photographs: These are very nice photographs and document the buildings well. For future surveys, in order to preserve the photograph's appearance and for archival purposes, please do not label on the front. Use pencil or photographic marker on the back. We appreciate the inclusion of historic photos when available; they are very beneficial. (4) Drawings: The measured . drawings are very nicely prepared and important understanding these buildings. t--\~ L/A\/4b- X-0vl.tu (rev . 6/7/93) V\res\eJ.. for P.o. .ox 607631 • OItLANDO. FL nuo .
