Historians of Mormonism are currently revising their estimates of the number of Saints participating in polygamy, finding that the exact figures vary from 5% to 50% depending upon the community. In the Sanpete Valley, it is safe to assume that between 10% and 15% of the households were polygamous. See Lowell C. Bennion, 11 Mormon Country a Century Ago: A Geographer's View,'' in The Mormon People: Their Character and Traditions, Charles Redd Monographs in History, 10, ed. by Thomas G. Alexander (Provo, Brigham Young University Press, 1980), 6, and Antrei and Scow, The Other 49'ers, 149-150. 3. No serious study of the architecture of polygamy has been accomplished. For several impressionistic accounts, see Paul Goeldner, Utah Catala : Historic American Buildin s Surve (Salt Lake City: Utah Heritage Foundation, 1969 , 28-32; Paul Goeldner, "The Architecture of Equal Comforts: Polygamists in Utah, 11 Historic Preservation, 24:l (January-March 1972): 14-17; Jan Harold Brunvand, "The Architecture of Zion," The American West, 13:2 (March-April 1976): 29; Jan Harold Brunvand, "A Survey of Mormon Housing Traditions in Utah," Revue Roumaine O'Histoire De L'Art, 11 (1974): 123-124; Pitman, "Nineteenth Century Folk Housing in the Mormon Culture Region," 186-190; and Hayden, Seven American Utopias, '142. 4.

It should be pointed out that these numbers are the result of a windshield type survey and thus are susceptible to a certain margin of error, particularly in the rectangular cabin and hall-parlor categories which are hard to distinguish from the road. In the case of the larger buildings, i.e., the extended hall and central passageway houses, most initial observations were checked by actually recording the buildings. For the easily recognized houses like the double cell, double parlor, temple form, and pair house, the survey should be quite accurate. 6.
