Builder: Unknown :::l Building Materials: Brick Building Type/Style: Originally a two-story "I" house w a: ~ C,) w !:: J: C,) a: '" Site No: BV-04:..245 , Description of physical appearance & significant architectural features: (Include additions, alterations, ancillary structures, and landscaping if applicable) The home was originally a two-story "I" house, complete with a central-hall plan. Several subsequent additions have been built, first giving the house a "Til plan and finally a square plan. The last addition was builtin 1924, but a fire during the early 1940s burned the original gabled roof off and it was replaced by a hipped roof. On the front facade, there is a large bay window with elaborate, decorative woodwork on it, there are complex brackets, jig saw work and tiny scallops. The bay window is balanced by two large windows on the other side and a central· door (though one of the windows was enlarged and made into a door). Over these doors and windows are more decorative woodwork and some brick fancy work. Thepordh contains very elaborate woodwork, with spindles and othere1ementssi:mi1ar to the bay window. Upstairs, there are large windows and a central door that leads out on to the porch. There is a second bay window :on the east facade,. but most of the later additions are quite p1a:Ln~ The grounds are surrounded by a white picket fence and there is a sturdy granary built of b.1ack rock to the rear of the house. Despite the many alterations, 'the house maintains a degree of visual integrity compatible with National Register standards. 5 > a: o ~ !!? J: Statement of Historical Significance: Construction Date: The John Riggs and Mary Ellen Wolfenden House, built in about 1880, is significant for its association with John Riggs Murdock and as one of three houses built by Murdock for his three polygamous wives~ Together with the John Riggs and Mae Bain Murdock House, 94 W. Center St. and the Almira Lott Murdock House, 85 W. 1st N., this house helps to document and illustrate the physical logistics and adaptations of the institution of polygamy in Beaver. John Riggs Murdock, as a town reorganizer and LOS stake president, was a central figure in the development and growth of Beaver, and after the anti-polygamy Edmunds Act of 1882 lived exclusively. in this home with one wife, Mary Ellen Wolfenden Murdock. This home had been .built in about 1880 by John Riggs Murdock for Mary Ellen Wolfenden Murdock, one of his three plural wives. John married Almira lott in 1849, and in 1863 married both Mary Ellen Wolfenden and MayB-ain.. As president of the Beaver Stake of the LOS Church, John Riggs Murdock had ascended to the most powerful position possible on the local level. As a devout member of the Mormon Church, he practiced plural marriage. When the anti-polygamy legislation was strengthened in 1882 by the passage of the Edmunds Act, federal arrests and prosecution of polygamists prompted Murdock to reside soley with Mary Ellen Wolfenden Murdock . The house for Mary Ellen was the second home built by Murdock. It, as the house for Mae Bain Murdock, had a central-hall plan, and inside contains an interesting metal fireplace that Murdock purchased in the 1896 Chicago World's Columbian Exposition. John Riggs Murdock lived in this residence for the remainder of his life. r . - ---.---.~.- 90 W. 1st No. Sign. Site #45 Beaver, Beaver Co., Ut. South Facade Photo by F. Aegerter, 1981 Neg.

SMITH. DIRECTOR 300 AlO GRANDE SALT LAKE CITY • UTAH 84101 TELEPHONE [phone] Dear Mr. and Mrs. Baker: Shortly after completion of the review meetings and comment deadlines for consideration of the nomination of those buildings in Beaver ~nich appear eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic places, Congress passed ammendments to the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. One of the ammendments formalized a procedure that had already been in effect here in Utah--providing the owners of properties under consideration for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places, the opportunity to object to the listing. Your property, at c90 West 100 North. Beaver, Utah, has been recommended for nomination. If listed in the National Register of Historic Places there are no restrictions placed on you as a property owner. You are still able to sell, renovate, demolish or alter your property just the rsame as if it were not listed in the National Register. The purpose of the listing is to document and identify those buildings, houses and sites and structures, which help us understand the past history and development of communities, the state, or the nation. There are some tax benefits for rehabilitation \\'ork on commercial buildings and one tax penalty if you demolish a listed building. The tax penalty is that you are not able to write off as an allowable expense the demolition costs. If you wish to object to the listing of your property in the National Register you must submit to us a notarized statement that you are the owner of the property and that you object to its listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The notarized letter will insure that your property will not be 1isted in the Register and only a determination of the property's eligibility for the National Register will be made. The notarized statement objecting to the nomination must be submitted before May 1st of this year at \'/hich time the nomination will be forwarded to the National Register Office for final action. We would also appreciate any letters in support of the nomination of your property. I will be in Beaver on Tuesday March 16th at the Beaver County Courthouse in the Commision Chambers from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. to answer any questions about the nomination and any other questions you may have.

Alexander David S Monson • Elizabeth Griffith • William D. Owens One final note, the Utah State Historical Society has received funds to publish the study of Beaver compiled by linda Bonar which led to this nomination of Beaver's historic properties. The publ ication is patterned after a book publ i shed in 1980, The Avenues of Salt lake City, which has been received with great enthusiasm by residents of the Avenues and others interested in Utah history. The publication on Beaver will incl ude an historical overview, section on Beaver's architectu"ral histor.y, and a photograph and short history of each of the historic buildings in the community. I am enclosing a copy of the structure/site information form which will be used in preparing the history of your property. Please read it and if you have any additional information or corrections please send them to me, or stop by the courthouse on March 16th. I wi 11 have a copy of the Avenues book wi th me so that you can see the format for the Beaver publication Which we hope to have out the end of this year or early in 1983. Inclusion of your property in the National Register or in the proposed publication does not mean that tourists and visitors have any right to tour your house or trespass on your property. We have not had reports wi th th i s being a problem. It is always a pleasure for me to be in Beaver--your community is unique in the state and your efforts at preserving the historical resources of your community will be greatly appreciated by future generations.~ Please send any comments to me at the Utah State Historical Society, 300 Rio Grande, Salt lake City, Utah, 84101, or call me at 533-6017 • .

Several subsequent additions have been built,. first giving the house a "T" plan and finally a square plan. The last addition was built in 1924, but a fire during the early 1940' s burned the original gabled roof off and it was replaced by an 4ttCGmpat!i@le hipped roof. On the frbnt facade, there is a large bay window with elaborate, decorative woodwork on it, there are complex brackets, jig saw work and. tiny ~callops. The bay window is balanced by two large windows on the other side and a central door (though one of the windows was enlarged and made into a door). Over these doors and windows are more decorative woodwork and some brick fancy work. The porch contains very elaborate woodwork, with spindles and other elements similar to the bay window. Upstairs, there are large windows and a central door that leads out on to the porch. There is a second bay window on the east facade, but most of the later additions are quite plain. The grounds are surrounded by a white picke ~ fence and tqere is a sturdy granary bui~t of black rock to the rear, of t,he house.
