Show This building, another black-stone cabin, is called by Beaverites the old Huntington home. The structure is abandoned. The small lintels of this house are wood, and part of the front faqade is of coursed rubble, while one side is a roughly coursed cut stone. The rubble faqade (on one side only) is a persistent folk architectural trait in Beaver. The rubble may either face the road or be "hidden," appear in gable or front faqades, but virtually every black-stone building in the town has this interesting characteristic. The two gable-end chimneys persist here. Most of the black-rock cabins in Beaver have plain boxed cornices, probable evidence they were built before the Greek Revival period. This black-stone mansion, once owned by Charles D. White, would be called a polygamy house by some, if only because of the number of doorsf Charles D. White was, in fact, a polygamist. This elaborate structure is of the T formation. Notice the stone lintels. 9 Legend has it that a true polygamy house had many doors. See Goss, "Utah's Architectural Heritage," 15. |
