Briefly describe the principal building, additions or alterations and their dates, and associated outbuildings and structures. Use continuation sheets as necessary. The Fannington Rock Chapel was originally built 1861-3 as a 40' x 60' masonry chapel with a heavy timber and adobe foundation, two- to three-feet-thick walls lined with adobe bricks, and fieldstone from the nearby canyons as the exterior cladding. The rodded mortar projects slightly from the wall surface. Rock-faced red sandstone quoins on the comers of the f~ade contrast with the multi-colored field stone of the walls. All of the door and window trim is painted white. The initial chapel building is front-gabled with a simple rectangular fonn. Greek Revival styling elements such as the raking cornice, cornice lines emphasized with a wide band of trim, low-pitched roof, symmetrical principal fa~ade, transoms with lights and smooth elevations with regular bays are present. During the early settlement period from 1847 to 1890 in Utah the Greek Revival style was the most popular for residential buildings as well as churches and other public buildings. Elements of ancient Greek temples including columns, pilasters, and raking cornices were used as decorative elements in these buildings. Additions in 1937-41 and 1979-80 follow the general style and materials of the initial structure. The current building, with additions, has roughly a crucifonn shape with the west wing being the original chapel. The twostory south and east wings are part of the 1937-41 addition and the north wing, the 1979-80 one. The roofs of the wings are gabled with flat sections near the intersections of the wings. The original chapel building has six-over-six wooden sash double-hung windows in vertical openings with threepaned transoms. The wooden lintels are broad and flush with the walls and the windowsills are narrow and projecting. There are four windows along each of the side walls. The eastern-most windows were added in 1937-41 and the wall extended to the east.! The eastern-most windows are almost adjacent to the projecting north and south wings. A single-story gabled enclosed entrance porch was added in 1937-4l.2 It is clad in the same type of fieldstone with Greek Revival-style wooden trim added in its wooden double doors, round-arched entrance, pilasters and a wide band oftrim at the cornice. Similar frame entrances with Greek Revival style elements but under flatroofed sections are found between the wings on the northeast, northwest, and southwest. They have round-arched door openings and pilasters. A two-story entrance faces to the west on the south wing. Window openings on the 1937-41 construction have slightly projecting smooth-surfaced wooden lintels with two pairs of projecting bolts and narrow rock-faced sandstone sills. The wooden sashes are primarily double-hung with a range in the number of lights from fifteen-over-two to eight-over-two. The addition included a recreation hall, classrooms, and offices. The 1980 addition to the north provided a new larger chapel, offices, classrooms and a Family History Center. The ridgeline of the 1980 addition has the same height as the earlier sections but the roof has a lower pitch and as a result the section is broader. Window openings on this addition are horizontal and double-hung with one-overone sash. The sills are similar to those of the 1947-41 addition, rock-faced red sandstone, while the broad wooden lintels are also flush with the wall surfaces. There are two round-arched entrance doors on the north elevation, each under a slightly projecting gable with frame elements such as the pilasters and cornice that stylistically refer back to the 1937-41 entrance porches. I A 12/9/1926 photo shows only three windows on the north wall of the chapel and no entrance porch. construction date could not be verified but Annette Tidwell remembers it being there in the 1950s. 2 The .. ARCIDTECTVRAL DESCRIPTION (cont~d) . .Farmington Rock Chapel, Farll),ington, UT p. 3 The chapel complex is located on the east side of Main Street, a major north-south street in Farmington. The building is surrounded by lawn and blacktopped parking areas. A number of deciduous trees are found in the lawn area on the southeast comer of the building as well as along Main Street. A residential area surrounds the chapel grounds and the commercial area is a few blocks to the south. A small noncontributing gable-roofed utility building is located on the east side of the parking l,o t to the rear of the chapel building. To the rear (east) of the chapel building in a two-rod square lot adjacent to the parking area is the Charles and Lucetta Penrose log cabin. A tall chain link fence with shrubbery surrounds it. The cabin was originally built in 1855 across the street from the chapel on the west side of Main Street. The log cabin was moved to the courthouse grounds in 1924 and moved again in 1956 to the northwest comer of the chapel block. It was moved again to its current location just to the east of the chapel grounds in 1979. 3 It is no longer on church land but on a small lot next to the chapel property owned by the Daughters of Utah Pioneers. 5 HISTORY Architect!Builder: Reuben Broadbent, designer;4 Harry Poll, architect of the 1937-1941 addition; Date of Construction: 1861-3, 1937-1941, 1979-80 Historic Themes: Mark themes related to this property with "S" or "c" (S = significant, C = contributing).

Explain andjustify any signifICant themes marked above. Use continuation sheets as necessary. MormonS pioneers settled Farmington a few years after their 1847 arrival in Salt Lake City. LDS religious services were first held in Farmington in the houses of people in the community, then in the log school building. 6 By 1855 the religious meetings were moved to the top floor of the county courthouse. Although the inhabitants of the small farming community didn't have many resources, they wanted a permanent chapel where they could hold their religious services. Reuben Broadbent (1817-1909)7 designed the building and supervised the construction of the rock chapel that began in 1861. Other artisans involved in the construction include Charles Bourne (1822-1885), an English stone mason; Morgan L. Hinman (1831-1891) from Massachusetts and James Leithead (1816-1907) of Scotland supervised the carpentry. Local timber and rocks were used for the construction. Some labor was hired but many members of the 160 families in the community helped in the construction. "How Kids View Old and New Fannington," p. 15.. Hess, p. 257. ~ Monnon or Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. 6 Hess states 1851 and Knowlton 1849. 7 Andrew Jenson states in 1914 at the time his encyclopedia was written that Broadbent was still alive but Family History records note that he died in 1909. Unless otherwise noted, Familysearch.org records were used for people's lifespan dates. 3 4 s ·mSTORY .~ Fanningto" RockChapel~Farmington, UT.p. .. Lack of money delayed the project. The county's denial of the use of the courthouse for religious purposes in 8 1863 spurred the completion of the chapel and the building was soon completed for a total cost of$17,000. Wilford Woodruff led the dedication ceremonies in January of 1864. It is now one of the oldest LOS meetinghouses in continuous use in Utah. Aurelia Spencer Rogers (1834-1922)9 organized the first meeting of Primary, the auxiliary organization for the children of the LOS Church, in the Rock Chapel in 1878. She initially met with 224 children in the chapel and by 1880 Primary was adopted church wide as the official auxiliary for children in the LOS Church. There are currently about one and a half million children throughout the LOS Church involved in Primary .10 Rogers was a suffragette, a supporter of the right of women to vote, and attended two national women's suffrage gatherings (Atlanta and Washington, D.C.) in 1895. By the mid-1930s, a larger building was needed for the community's religious services. The two-story addition was planned to have an amusement/recreation hall, 17 classrooms, and a kitchen. Footings were poured in 1937 and masonry work began the following year, using rocks from the nearby canyons. Adobe bricks were reused from the Old Farmington Amusement Hall that stood a block east of the meetinghouse. Harry Poll (18801964) was the architect and Clifford M. Ashton (1908-2000) and Henry C. Schraven (1879-1945) were the contractors. The addition was completed in 1941 for $62,616.44 and dedicated in February of that year by the LOS President David O. McKay.11 A large mural commemorating the 63rd anniversary of the founding of the Primary Association in Farmington was painted by Lynn Faussett (1894-1977) assisted by Gordon Cope (1906-1999) and dedicated in 1941 in the Memorial Chapel. 12 During his career Price native Lynn Faussett painted many murals with historic themes for the LOS Church as well as four WPA 13 murals and numerous paintings. Gordon Cope of Salt Lake City studied with LeComte Stewart and was also a WPA artist. Both men were educators as well as artists. The mural has likenesses of the early participants and leaders of the first meeting of Primary. The building was enlarged again in 1979-80, adding the single-story north wing with an additional chapel and remodeling part of the older building. Native fieldstone was used to match the original chapel building. A thousand people attended the dedication ceremony conducted by Ezra Taft Benson on June 22, 1980. The chapel complex retains its historic integrity and would be a contributing building in a potential historic district. It is an important building to the people of Farmington and contributes to a sense of the character of the city. A History ofDavis County, p. 33. Shirley A. Cazier.

Church. Many thousands more can trace their Primary experience, whether they know it or not, to this building on the county seat's north Main Street. The auxiliary, now for youngsters ages 18 months to 12, had its start in 1878 in that building, under the direction of Farmington pioneer Aurelia S. Rogers. "She felt the boys especially needed something constructive to do;' says Zelda Tidwell, historian for the Farmington Utah Stake. "She (Rogers) didn't think they were being taught like they should be. 'DE OlDEST AND AMONG 'DE BEST: Thousands have sat in the old Rock Chapel in Fannington to "There were 112 boys and admire the mural.

HISTORY OF ROCK CHAPEL In 1861 the Saints in the valley had been holding meetings in homes and an upper room at the old Courthouse. It was very inconvenient and not large enough. They called a special meeting and held a prayer circle, asking the Lord to "help them build a "meeting house". They had $12.00 among them and felt there was no way this could be done. Some three weeks later a very strong wind and storm hit the valley and it rained very hard. Enough rocks and sand washed down the mountain to build this room. The Lord had answered their prayers. With help from the ~eneral church they were able to get the money for cement and limestone and work was begun to build these walls. This room is exactly as it was built. The walls and windows are the same. The pulpit was at the east end of the room with the bishopric chairs on the south end. A large pot-bellied stove was in the middle of the room for heat, and a pump organ was at the north end. The entrance was on the west end because of the terrible east winds. The classrooms were made by drawing heavy curtains across the room from near the windows. The benches were very rough. The building was dedicated in 1864 by Wilford Woodruff. In early 1920's a coal furnace was installed. In 1941 the building was enlarged and the recreation hall was added and offices were built, and a ne~ furnace was installed to heat the entire building. From 1978 through 1980 the new chapel on the north was added, new Bishops' offices, and a Family History Center were added west of the new chapel. New classrooms were also built upstairs. In 1980 the building was rededicated by Pres. Ezra Taft Benson, Pres. of the Twelve Apostles. F~om 1995 through 1997 the building was redecorated throughout. The Memorial Chapel received an adjustable podium and the choir seats were redone and the benches refinished. The entire building was recarpeted and special pictures were placed in the foyers and the Primary Chapel upstairs. This is an historical chapel and is known throughout the Church as the home of the first Primary.

In the spring of 1885 he left home to fiil a mission in the northw estern States, and was assigned to labor in Illinois. Just a month after leaving Salt Lake City, his father died. Two months later, he experienced one of many severe spells of sickness, brought on by a severe cold which settled in his face in a wound, he having been accidentally shot July 24, 1878. Durrng his sickness President King, of the Indiana conference, offered him an honorably release, but when he refused to accept it, he was promised that he should never suffer again with his broken jaw. Although several fragments of bone later worked out, they were unaccompanied with pain. Elder Harris writes: "Being clerk of the Indiana conference, I had written out releases for several Elders who had. finished their two years, and was just finishing my own, when President Palmer suddenly in· terrupted me by saying: "We cannot let you go home yet; we would like you to go either to Beaver Island, among the Strangites, or to St. Johns, Kansas, and open up a missio n among the Bicker-ton and Cadmanites, off· shoots from the Rigdonites. In com· pany with Elder Swenson I went to St. Johns, where we made many friends and baptized three of the Vol. II. No. . 12! apostles and their wives, of the Bickel ton church.

In 1903 I was called to preside ove the Mexican Mission', which positio I held for a year and a half. Aft€ my release I returned to the coloni€ in Chihuahua, and there r emained f( ten months; then I was recalled t preside over the Mexican Mif?sion an to represent the "Mormon" coloni~ in Mexico before the Governmen which position I still have the hOD< of filling. During the past ten yeal I have met in business relations it greater number of the cabinet President Diaz and have had thn interviews with the president hir self.

It's original hard benches were handmade and could seat approx. 400 persons. The east end of the chapel contained a pulpit and nine high-backed chairs for speakers. In the north-east COD1er was a platfonn with graduated levels which was used for the choir. D::>ors on either side of the speakers platfonn led into the vestry (a. two-story annex which was 24 feet by 27 1/2 feet) which was used for classes and rreetings of the Priesthood and the Bishop's Council. The sacrament stand was in south-east comer. The walls of the building were constructed out of rocks hauled fran the rrountains east of the city. Today the building has been altered by additions which were needed to create rrore classroans and office space. The building has bean well maintained because of its oonstant use. The additions to the building have been well done so as not to detract from the original rock chapel's outward beauty. The interior has been changed with the pulpit, choir, and sacrarrent table nav at the west end of the chapel rather th:I.D at the east. wooden: II SIGNIFICANCE PERIOD - PREHISTORIC AREAS OF SIGNIFICANCE -- CHECK AND JUSTIFY BELOW -.ARCHEOLOGY-PREHISTORIC _COMMUNITY PLANNING _LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE _1400-1499 -.ARCHEOLOGY-HISTORIC _CONSERVATION _LAW X-RELIGION _SCIENCE _ 1500- 1599 -.AGRICULTURE _ ECONOMICS _ LITERATURE _SCULPTURE _1600-1699 -.ARCHITECTURE _ EDUCATION _MILITARY _ SOCIAUHUMANITARIAN _ 1700- 1799 -.ART _ENGINEERING _MUSIC _THEATER _1800-1899 _ COMMERCE _E XPLORATION / SETTLEMENT _ PHILOSOPHY _TRANSPORTATION _ 1900- _ COMMUNICATIONS _INDUSTRY _POLITICS/GOVERNMENT _OTHER (SPECIFY) _INVENTION SPECIFIC DATES BUI LDERI l\BCHITECT Original Chapel Cc!rpleted D=c. , lH63 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The chapel is said to have been designed by Reuben Broadbent.

Smoot r.ill? ~ .... The Rock Chapel: 272 North Main Street With only $12, faithful Mormon pioneers began construction of the chapel in 1861, under the supervision of LD.S. Church President Brigham Young and Bishop John W . Hess . It was completed in December 1862 at a cost ofSI5,000. The original 40 foot-by-60-foot stone church was designed by Reuben Broadbent in a single cell vernacular style featuring a gable roof and Greek revival trim. Charles Bourne, an English stone mason, supervised laying the rock. Morgan L Hinman from Massachusetts, and James Leithead of Scotland were in charge of the carpen try. No excavation for the building was made. Instead, the pioneers laid heavy timber flat on the ground for a foundation. The building was enl arged in 1941 and again in 1979, but the original cha pel remains intact and is still in use today . 272 North Main Street -@ The Charles Penrose Log Cabin: 272 Nort h Main Stree t (in the rea r) This small cabin, built in 1855 by frien ds of th e Charles Penro se family, was originally loca ted directly across the street from the Rock Chapel on Main Street. Charles Penro se wa s a n ea rl y settler in Farmington and author of several L.O.S. Church Hymns, including " Oh , Ye Mountains High". When the prope rt y wa s purchased in 1924, his old cabin was di sma ntkd log by log and moved to the courthouse grounds. LOS President and Prophet Heber 1. Grant dedicated the cabin in 1927, and told the people present that Penrose had written "two ton s of literature in song, verse and prose in his 72 years of life". In 1956 the cabin was moved to it s present location to the rear of the Rock Chapel. M any historical relics are inside the cabin including a rocking chair owned by Penrose, an iron kettle th at came across on th e Mayn () wer in 1620, a nd th e first orga n to cross the plains with the M ormon pionecrs. 272 North Main Street(in rear) - G ·F UTAH PRESS ASSOCIATION C1ippillg Service (80) 328-8678 DAVIS COUNTY CLIPPER Mobile pioneer cabin finally gets ~Fl!~=~~e~~h:~e~~~g!:..~~~~~~n years smce.

The c~bm IS located behmd the Pioneer Rock Chapel, 272 North when a man named Summers turned it over to Aurelia Rogers Camp (the only DUP Camp in Farmington at the time. It was then moved from its original site across the street from the Rock Chapel to the courthouse grounds. where it stayed for 32 years. But. expansion of courthouse sent the cabin packing again in 1956. this time winding up on the grounds of the Rock Chapel. For the next 23 years. the cabin served as a museum and historical center for Farmington. Then it was time to hit the road once more. Another expansion. this time of the Rock Chapel parking lot was the cause of the problem. but finding a ~ solution this time proved a bit more difficult. . Authorities at the church thought the cabin should be moved to the new Pioneer Village at Lagoon. But. this idea was met by strong opposition from DUP members. The controversy was ended when June Stayner Swaner. a member of Helen Marr Miller Camp. donated a portion of property. which adjoined the Rock Chapel, as what she hoped would be the cabin's final resting place. She later reported that. while sitting in a church meeting. it seemed an inspiration came to mind from her late husband. Horace Bums Stayner. . She had a strong feeling he was instructing her to donate a comer of her home lot and have the cabin moved there. Whether prompted by inspiration. instruction or vision. her generosity was greatly appreciated by all cor):cerned. But. when DUP officials offered to pay her for the property she politely refused. So. instead. they gave her a free. lifetime membership in the organization. Yet. to this day. she pays her dues anyway. Davi. County Farmil!8ton Rock Chapel, 272 North Main, Farmington (SR).
