It was used some twenty-five years as a barn and then con1 verted into a home about 1905, when it was sold to the Spencers. Not much was do ~lhen it was converted,' other than to frame in four rooms, and make the loft into one large room. Original wooden pegs and mahogany logs were used in the struqtur Large trees were used as supports for the floors, and theuprigh~ in the barn are hughend out logs as were all the floor supports and uprights throughout. Part of structure, especially the original roof (which still stands) had no naits in" it, as it was put together with wooden pegs and notched out logs. The original rafte are still there, and a;e exposed so that they may be seen. Very little had been done within until the '~idwells bought it in 1948. There was no plumbing and no central heating. A .window in the living room had been enlarged sometime in 1941, when Virga Stanton owned it, but other than that nothing had been done to the orginal structure. The Tidwells remodeled the inside, putting in a gas furnace a bathroom, along with a new kitchen, and made two bedrooms upstairs. We rebuilt t leanto pOrch on the back and added a patio. After Mr. Tidwell was . killed in 197 Mrs. Tidwell finished the upstairs, making a large family room, and storage areas along with the bedrooms, In 1990, Mrs. Tidwell put another bathroom upstairs.(ov ~ Briefly describe the principal building, noting additions ~nd alterations and their ) dates, and associated outbuildings and structures.

Oliver Lee Robinson was living in the home to t. West, when he built this barn for his animals. Ray Steed, a neighbor interviewed : in 1965, could recall as a young boy, playing in the barn, and helping put in the hay. After it was sold to the Spencer's, they converted it into a home. Annette RicQardson Dinwoody, personel interview 1965, was born here, and they were poor a: church mice. Nothing was done to the home. It was heated with four large coal stoves. The one in the kitchen was so large, it had to be broken up with a sledg. hammer to get it out. It even had a wood storage place in the bottom. Hattie Rosen told Mrs. Tidwell about taking in washings when she lived here. She never had means to improve the property. Stanton's had done more than anyone. They hat put in new walls in the inside and put in the cold water. Kate Whitney bought thinking they could do a lot to remodel, but when World War II came, and her husband passed away, she found herself unable to do anything. \vhen Tidwells bought : people thought they had really got a "White Elephant" but it has been a labor of love. Mr. Tidwell did much of it before he died, built a garage, and two outside sheds, and much to landscape the grounds. Th¥ added the white rought iron trim on the front and the patio, which has added greatly to the apprearance, along with some ornamental rock planters. The lower floor is very elegant, and the upstairs is a home in itself. The orginal beams and supports are exposed along with the wooden pegs and hughened logs. It has been quite a showplace .and Mrs. Tidwell is very proud of it. The home has a large living room, dinning room, kitchen, bath, library and utility roo~ walkin closet and storage downstairs. Upstairs are largl den, bedroom, bath, closets, and two storage areas. All windows have been replaci withthermol panes, and the doors with solid core doors. The upstairs ceiling hal been insulated with airplane insulation against the rafters and the cedar placed between the rafters in order to expose the original ceiling braces and beams. As much was r-Dstorecf as possible. This was done in 1975. ~ ' * Mr. Robinson's Journal states that on April 22 1873 he and his son Oliver laid out the foundation of this structure. ,I uio ny logs overhead were pul togelher wilh wooden peas and trimmed with more than 1,000 feet of rope. Fred and Zelda Tidwell bought the home in 1948. 11M Home, 386 N. East This borne is listed OD the Na tional Rqister. It was built it 1860 by Franklin D.

The Lasts have hosted interesting guests of their own , including a group of doctors and lawyers who held a progressive dinner using many of the old homes in Farmington.

But it fell right ofT, taking more with it." Now they're trying a brick mason's suggestion to chisel out the bad layer of brick and slide in a new layer of brick. They've found an old home being torn down in Provo; the owners are giving away the old brick. Outside, the Lasts have a 100year-<>Id peony and carnations begun from a plant that was brought across the plains. Cuttings of the two plants were donated to the perennial flower garden at the back of city hall . The family - including Lissa's three children by her first marriage and Curt's five children by his first marriage, who visit regularly - had to make adjustments. Since the house has no closets, they bought many armoires and big pine cupboards for clothes and linen. "Those are the things you take for granted in normal homes," Last said. Her children, ages 7, 5 and 4, enjoy the novelty of their home - such as when 5-year-old Patrick dug up an 1870 dime in the yard .

Robinson of Farmingto drew ui e tain Welch, and H.V. Shurtliff. s3 When word of the troubles reached Sa t a e CIty, righa Young immediately sent a mounted rescue expedition of more than 150 men. Horton D. Haight led the armed party, most of them young men in their late teens and early twenties. Horses, pack animals, and provisions were furnished through loans and donations. Haight recruited one-third of the number from his own hometown of Farmington, plus others from elsewhere in Davis County and beyond. The men enlisted on 9 March and served one month. Most of them carried both a long gun and a pistol. The expedition successfully accomplished its mission of moving the missionaries home, and the abandoned Fort Lemhi passed into history. 54 Origins and Families. Those who helped establish Davis County and those who left to expand Mormon settlement efforts elsewhere shared common origins. VirtUally all of them were affiliated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Therefore, the place of birth listed for residents by the Davis County census for 1850 reflected the geographical origins of the church, the places of its congregating, and the locations from which converts were gathered. Overall, Davis County echoed the pattern for all of Utah Territory; its residents were predominantly American-born, with the remainder mostly of British origin. Since many of the children in families were born in the gathered Mormon communities of Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, western Iowa, and Deseret (the original name for Utah), it is more meaningful to limit the analysis of nativity to individuals eighteen and over. Bountiful's mix of American-born, British-born, and "Other" nativities (mostly Canadian) was close to the county average. Centerville and Farmington attracted comparatively fewer Farming The soil and sunshine in Farmington are unsurprassed and water has always been plentiful, making the land ideal for farming. Early pioneers used the family butcher knife, sickle, scythe and cradle to reap grain and hay crops. Men came behind the cradle and bound the grain. B~fore threshing machines were available, they used it flail to thresh the wheat out, or tramped it out with horses and oxen. The wheat chaff was removed with a. fanning mill run by hand. The women used to glean all the wheat and use it. They never wasted one thing, only their strength, and always worked so hard. In 1854 the first threshi!lg machine with cylinders and a chaff piler was run by horse power. Daniel Miller purchased the first threshing machine brought from California in 1859. A grain thresher was owned by Daniel Miller, Arthur Stayner, Oliver Robinson, Ebenezer Robinson and Charles Laduke. They did custom work with it. William Isiah "Zare" Barkdull and John Ivan Hess did custom threshing for many years in the 1920's. The early settlers were industrious in the business of raising crops and livestock. The women assisted with milking the cows, and they transformed their products of farming into useful articles through spinning, sewing, quilting, knitting, weaving, 'cooking and other processes. Alfalfa and Lucerne were raised in large amounts between 1856 and 1860 and were sold in Salt Lake City for shipment to other areas. Hay and wheat were the two most important crops raised before 1890. Oats, barley, com, rye and potatoes were also major crops. The family of Nick Siderakis grew the first white onions in Farmington. They got the seeds by mail from Sweden to plant here and then raised seed for their neighbors. Nick now resides in Whittier, California. J ames Davia Wilcox anams brotlier-in-Iaw, Oliver L.

In 1868 the settlers united to fight noxious weeds and grasshoppers. In the late 1860's and early 1870's the grasshoppers did severe damage by destroying a large portion of the wheat crop and causing sickness to the livestock from leaving their residue on the foliage. Irrigation Water In March 1853 the county court appointed John R. Blanchard, Thomas S. Smith and Henry Miller to locate and construct a Ward ditch outlet below Dr. Richards mill and a main channel to carry water to the comer of 1st East and 5th North; west to Main Street; south to State Street; then west to the fields below the town. The water supply came from North Cottonwood (Big Creek), Shepherd Creek, Davis Creek and Steed Creek. In 1862 Judge Thomas Grover introduced the practice of appointing water masters for each stream. It was the Bishop's responsibility to appoint the water masters and assist them in regulating the local streams so that each farmer received his rightful share. My father, John W. Steed, was water master of Farmington for many years. Some of the farmers were "water hogs" and wanted the irrigating water all of the time. This resulted 337 The adobe house on the south comer was built by James Leithead. Later it was owned by Dr. Dixon, John Gleason and then Edward B. Clark and Wealthy Richards Clark, who remodeled it and sold it after living there many years. West of Clark's was a log house built by Dr. Walker. A Mr. Watson lived there who was a tailor by trade. J attles Henry Robinson built a new home there, which is now the home of Rulon and Golda Richards at 68 W. 1st N. West of that was the home of Joseph E. Robinson and his wife Dora.

A Fuller family lived south of here, and Ira Richard Steed and his wife, Bathsheba (parents of Ross Steed), lived at 37 N. 1st W. in an adobe home. Thomas and Aurelia S. Rogers (she organized the first Primary) lived at 108 W. State Street. It is now the home of Wayne and Esther West. Their son, Lo'ce Rogers, lived in a briCk home at i42 W. State. It was built in 1901. Across from Richard and Bathsheba Steed lived a good tailor, Jack Morgan. He lived in a log house. Eli Manning had a log house on the old academy lot; as did Betsy Steed (mother of James J. Steed) and Sarah Steed Harrod, who taught school. William Cotterell built an adobe house for his first wife on the place where th~ bank now stands. On the comer south of the bank was a large adobe house built by Leonard G. Rice, who had two wives living there. It was later owned by Loren Walker's family. Loren's wife was the daughter of Hyrum Smith, the martyr. On the center of the block were two large bams built by Judson Stoddard and Leonard G. Rice. Judson built the rock house south of Edward B. Clark's home. Aunt Sarah Stoddard and Elanthropy lived there. Morgan L. Hinman, who married widowed Rhoda Stoddard, 'also lived in this rock house. John and Mary Myers live there now, 94 S. Main. Orval Stoddard lived in Joseph 'and Libbie Miller's place in a log house built in 1878 by David and Nancy Lamoreaux. Several years ago this man called to see this old home. He brought his two sons with him to show them the size of the logs used in it. It is now the home of Daniel and Loenie Miller,77 W. State. Just south of this house, was an adobe house built by Oliver Robinson. His wife, Annie, lived there for many years. Later Albert Barber, and now Steve Wood, Jr. resides there. Across the street west of Charles Turner's home, lived Clarisa Miller Stayner, wife of Arthur Stayner. North was the home of William and Lizzie Cotterell. A log house west of there was built by Amasa France. Dr. Corbet, father of Mrs. Workman, lived there first, then Laura Smith, one of Lot smjth's wives lived there.

Robinson passed away. his son, Joseph E.Robinson; was ch~- to.b,e ~el_er. His daughter Clara, a dear friend -o f mine, and myaeIf, Margriret Steed, were asked to join his choir in 1896 when -we were Only 12 years old. We were singing duets together long before we joined the choir. In 1906 we had Our picture taken together wearing $9.00 hats. We sang many years together until we both married aDd she moved away. 1 sang in the choir until 1972. 1 just loved it and bad about 16 leaders through the nus. Clara's father told us he didn't know too much about music, and when he was called to 1eed.the choir after his father pasaed away, he said he actually felt bia ·father close to him. He . .meet to be helping him beat time. aDd the feeling of fear left him. He was when he was a young man and was always on crutehes. He was a ~. geDtIe man and was loved by everyone who knew him. He and his wife were always called Uncle Jodie and Aunt Don. Tbey used to sing duets, and sang ''The Vacant Chair." . One day that chair became vacant in reality aDd Uncle Jodie was taken to his h,eavenly home. We lost a wCJPdaiul1eader and a true friend. . . For 46 years the faithfullittle ·EJiqbeth W. . . . Coombe sang in the choir with us. She was the wife of Fred Coombe and .... Imown 88 "Aunt Lizzie." She would raise her aIdrts to dig down into the deep pockets in her petticoats and bring out old fashioned candy mints and pass them out to the members of the choir. For several vearswe had a DiaDo aDd a little- oran. with many fiDe acCompanyists to help us. James LoyDd was the first organist. In years the bishop put a taU old pipe orpn up in ~ DOI'theast comer of the rock chapel ChOIr seats wa:e placed m .rows just below and on the west of the pulpit "!a8 ~ tf. east-.right inthe cmter aud facing west.

One CODference we a Jarie choir and we were singing our ~ Anthem, when the organ suddenly stopped. The poor orglUlist couIdn t do anything about it and just eat then, but the choir kept on siDling. Another time an older boy wanted to the organ, and while be was pumping he started grinning and m~ the audience laugh. ODe of the good base singwe sot mad and said, "I'D be d - if 111 sing anymore with an ape standing up tbare caUsing such a ecene." So poor Delbel't Dever sot to pump it again.

It was used some twenty-five yea as a barn and then converted into a home about 1905 , when it was sold to the Spencers. Not much was done when it was converted, other than to frame in four rooms, and make the hay loft into one large room. Original wooden pegs and mahogany logs were used in the structure. Large trees were used as supports for the floors, and the uprights in the. barn are hugh end out logs as were all the floor supports and uprights throughou~.Part of structur especially the or~ginal roof (which still stands), had no nails in it, as it was put togethe . with wooden pegs and notched out logs. The original rafters are still there, and are expose \ so ~hat they may be seen. Very little had · been done within until we bought it ~n · 1948. ~ There was no plumbing and no central heating. A window in the living room had been enlarged ~ sometime in 1941, when Virga Stanton owned it, but other than that nothing has been done to the original structure. We remodeled the inside, putting in a gas furnace ana bathroom, along with a new kitchen, and made two bedrooms upstairs. We rebuilt the leanto porch on the back· and added a patio. After my husband was killed in 1970, I finished the upstairs, makin a large family room, and storage areas along with the bedrooms. In 1990, I put another bath upstairs. We have put aluminium siding on the wooden parts where the barn doors were and also along the eaves to protect them. But the original structure has not been chan$ed. 5 >- Architect/Builder: Oliver Lee Robinson a Date of ConstrUction: 1672 (CA) Write a chronological history of the property. focusing primarily on the original or ,-- principal owners & signific.a nt events. :J) I Oliver Lee Robinson was living in the home to the West, when he built this barn for his animals. Ray Steed, a neighbor could recall as a young boy, playing in the barn, and help in p,,:t in the hay. After it was sold to the Spencer's they converted it into a home. Annette Richardson Dinwoody, ~a-...h.. was born here, and they were .poor as Church mice. Nothing was done t9~the homr' It was heated with four large coal stoves. The one in the kitche~ wa so large, ~& had to trea~~ up wit~ sledge hammers to get it out. It even had a wood stora place in the bottom. Hattie Rossen had told~about taking in washings when she lived here She never had the means to imp!-'>ve the property. Stanton's had done ··more than anyone. They had put in new walls in the inside and put in the cold water. Kate Whitney boughtt thin~ing they could do a lot to remodel, but when t1t~4.~~~~ came, and her ·h usband _I.~assed away, she . . found herself.unable to do anything. When ~~ghE~~~~o~le thoughtTp~ad really got a '~ite Elephant", but it has been a labor of love. My b"~ana did much of it before he died, built a garage, and two outside sheds, and much to landscape the grounds. We added the white rought iron trim on the front and ~he patio, which has added - greatly to the appearance, - alo~ with some ornamental rock planters. The ·lower floor is very eligant, and the upstairs is· a home in it'self. The original beams and supports are exposed along with the wooden pegs and hughened logs. It has been. quite a showplace and we are very proud of it. The home has a large living room, dinning room, kitchen, bath,library and utility room watkin closet and storage downstairs. Upstairs are large den, bedroom, bath, closets, and two storage areas. All windows have been replaced with thermal panes, an4 the doors with solid core doors. The upstairs ceiling has been insulated with airplane insulation against the rafters and then cedar placed between the rafters in order to · expose the original ceiling braces and beams. As much was restored as w~u-ld' possibl9- eo; This was done in 1975. t,lc.j~Vt-f A{ K 7 tJ l I W yt"tv f ,'~ • I Id t" J- ~ p-.L '7+V Ii- - f,'J, I ~ ~ i·~1 L i IJ Wr • I t e..- ' .

The property was gra nted to Robinson by his father, Joseph L. Robinson . The elder Robinson was one of Farmington's early settlers and the area's first L.D .S. Bishop. The bam was constructed with 18-inch solid rock walls, and a foundation buried thrce feet in the ground.

Each of the five ",-i ves of JoseDh lived in this house for some portion her married life. Large Rock House at 67 West 100 North Farmington, Utah - Owned by Zelda E. Tidwell Lee Built about 1872 by Oliver! Q rl Robinson for a hay and animal barn. It was used some twenty-five years as a barn and then converted into a home. We bought it in 1948. There was no plumbing or central heating, a large black coal range was in the kitchen. There were four large rooms. There was no landscaping done and no outdoor buildings. We have not changed the structure other than adding the utility porch and patio. Original wooden pegs and mahogany logs are visable upstairs. The walls are eighteen inches of solid rock. It has been a labor of love . My husband Fred did much of the original remodeling before his death in 1970. ;.'
