The building, originally constructed ca. 1881, occupies a squareshaped 0.205-acre lot on the southwest corner of the intersection of 100 East and 200 North (Photograph 1). This location is in the heart of Farmington’s historical core. The surrounding properties and immediate neighborhood are residential in nature and contain many historical buildings of comparable age as well as more recent properties. The parcel on which this dwelling is located is developed with common residential landscape—lawn grasses in the front yard along with occasional trees and shrubs and rockscaped planter areas. The rear and north side yards are characterized by a concrete paver landscape containing built-up planter boxes and garden beds. The date of construction and the dwelling’s historical integrity qualify it for nomination under the Settlement Era Buildings of Farmington, 1847 to 1896 Multiple Property Submission (MPS). The historical integrity of the dwelling has been impacted by replacement of historical windows, minor use of the modern wood shingle siding and stone veneer, possible alteration of one former doorway, and a rear addition. Collectively, these alterations are sufficiently minor as to not affect the dwelling’s eligibility for listing on the National Register under the MPS. Two noncontributing outbuildings are located on the property. One is a detached garage located northwest of the dwelling, and the other is a pre-fabricated shed located south-southeast of the dwelling. Section 7 page 4 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service / National Register of Historic Places Registration Form NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 Chaffin, Henry and Leatha, House Davis County, UT Name of Property County and State _____________________________________________________________________________ Narrative Description The Chaffin House exhibits Victorian Eclectic style that can be seen in the arched lintels of the windows and exterior doors. Muted Classical styling is seen in raking moldings that line the moderately deep eaves. The building rests on a mortared stone foundation and has a moderately pitched gable roof (with a broken cat-slide form) clad in modern asphalt shingles. The roof may have been replaced at some time given that the depth of the overhang on the gable end is deeper than would typically have been present historically. The majority of the building is clad in regular brick, but stone veneer was applied to front of the dwelling in the porch area sometime after 2000, and wooden shingles have been applied to the rear porch gable. No external chimneys or similar features were observed. The dwelling has a cross-wing form and was reportedly constructed in 1892 according to County Recorder records; however, biographical and other information suggests the dwelling was likely constructed somewhat earlier, ca. 1881. 1 Exterior As noted above, the Chaffin House is a cross-wing form created by a long north-south oriented wing with a shorter hall-parlor section at the north end. The east elevation of the dwelling (Photographs 2, 8 & 9) constitutes the current primary façade, though a second entry is located on the north (side) elevation, which fronts on 200 North, and was most likely the original façade and entrance. The east elevation is the most ornate of the elevations. It exhibits three window openings, a doorway, and a porch. The porch is located at the center of the elevation. It is slightly recessed and its north edge is situated at the south edge of the cross-wing ell. The walls of the recessed area are clad in ca. 1970s stone veneer. It is unclear exactly when this veneer was applied. It is possible, perhaps even likely, that the veneer was applied to obscure an additional doorway that would have accessed the cross-wing ell or similar changes to fenestration. Although the veneer is an out-of-period alteration, the stone is sufficiently in keeping with the type and appearance of stone masonry construction known as a hallmark of the Farmington community. As such, it is not considered a major impact on the building’s integrity. The porch roof is supported by two battered wood columns that appear to have been constructed more recently. The primary entry/doorway into the dwelling is located in the recessed porch area and is situated just north of center in the east elevation. The doorway exhibits a transom that holds a single-pane window. The three windows in this east elevation are located with one at center in the cross-wing ell and two south of the door—one in the recessed porch area and one to the south of it. The vertical window opening in the cross-wing ell is large and generally rectangular in. It has a segmental arch lintel composed of regular brick and a thin tan sandstone sill. The opening holds a two-pane, wood-framed, fixed sash window. As with all windows in the dwelling, this window appears to be a modern wooden replica of the historical window type. The window opening in the porch section of the elevation is located roughly 6 feet south of the doorway and is also rectangular in shape and vertically oriented. It has a flat lintel and a thin sandstone sill. This 1 Davis County Recorder. 2024. Property title search; Deed issued July 25, 1881, for $1000. Book G, Page 318.

The southernmost of the three window openings is located roughly six feet south of the south edge of the porch/recessed area. This opening is similar in shape and design to the northernmost window but smaller in size. It holds a wood-framed, one-over-one, single-hung window. The north elevation (Photographs 3 & 4) of the dwelling, as noted was most likely the primary façade historically. The elevation exhibits two windows flanking a doorway and arranged symmetrically, as was typical of the hall-parlor type in Utah. The doorway is located at center and is accessed by a small concrete stoop. The opening exhibits a brick, segmental arch lintel and has a single-pane transom at the top. The two window openings are arranged with one each located equidistant east and west of the doorway. Both openings have brick segmental arch lintels and thin sandstone sills. Both hold wood-framed, one-over-one, single-hung windows. 2 The south elevation of the dwelling (Photograph 5) exhibits three window openings and little other architectural detail. Two of the openings are located at center in the elevation, and one is located in the south wall of the rear addition. The pair of openings at center in the elevation are identical in size and shape. They have brick segmental arch lintels and thin sandstone sills and hold wood-framed, one-over-one, single-hung windows. The eastern of the two openings exhibits evidence in the brickwork below it that this may have been a doorway at one time. The bricks below the opening have been cut in two lines matching the width of the existing opening and extending downward, essentially meeting the stone foundation. The bricks in between the two cuts are very similar to but slightly different from the surrounding brick. This suggests the opening may have held a doorway. The westernmost window opening, which is located in the wall of the apparent rear addition, is smaller than the eastern two openings, exhibits a brick flat arch and concrete sill, and holds a wood-framed, single-pane, fixed sash window. The west elevation of the dwelling (Photographs 6 & 7) constitutes the rear of the structure. It exhibits an irregular form created by a projecting portion of the perpendicular hall-parlor section at the north end and an apparent addition at center. The addition is also constructed of brick and mortar that closely matches that of the original building; salvaged bricks may have been used. The addition is a wide, cross-gable structure with a raised porch and porch cover extending from its west elevation and supported on battered wood columns, similar to those on the east elevation. The gable wall of the porch cover is clad in modern wooden shingles. The exact date of construction of the addition is unclear, but the current property owner indicated they had been told by previous owners that it was constructed during the Depression (i.e., late-1920s to early1940s). Because the addition is located on the rear elevation of the dwelling and is moderate in size, it is clearly subordinate to the original portion of the dwelling and does not appreciably impact the building’s historical integrity. Two windows openings and a doorway are present in the west elevation of the dwelling. One window opening is located north of the addition in the wall of the cross-wing ell. This opening has a brick segmental arch lintel, a thin concrete sill, and holds a wood-framed, one-over-one, 2 A plaque created by Farmington City is affixed to the wall near the east end of the elevation. This plaque denotes a construction date of 1892 for the dwelling and refers to it as the Rawl Udy Home. Research conducted for this nomination has proven this information to be incorrect.

The second window and the doorway are located in the area of the porch addition. The doorway is located at the north edge of the addition, which places effectively at center in the elevation. The opening holds a double (French) door that opens onto the raised porch landing. To the south of the doorway is the second window opening. This opening as a brick flat-arch lintel, a thin concrete sill, and holds an aluminum-framed, one-over-one, single hung window. Interior The interior of the dwelling (Photographs 12–14) includes the main floor and a partial basement. The basement was, according to the current property owner, excavated under the dwelling during the modern era. It is used at present as a storage and laundry room. Upon entering the front door, one enters the hall room at the center of the cross-wing. To the right (north), also in the original wing, is a smaller room that would have served as the parlor. To the left (south) of the hall is an even smaller room that is now used as a bedroom and likely was used for similar purposes originally. Continuing west through the central hall room one enters the rear addition. This section includes a bathroom, kitchen, and office/bedroom. The stairwell to the basement is located in the southern part of the kitchen. Interior finishes in the dwelling are almost entirely modern. The exceptions are the original lath and plaster wall finishes, Eastlake-style casing/moldings around the interior doorways, and windows and older transoms found over some of the interior doorways. Historical Integrity The historical integrity of the dwelling has been impacted by replacement of historical windows, minor use of the modern wood shingle siding and stone veneer, possible alteration of one former doorway, and a c. 1920s to 1930s rear addition. Collectively, these alterations are sufficiently minor as to not affect the dwelling’s eligibility for listing on the National Register under the MPS. Most of the larger exterior alterations, such as the addition, are only minimally visible from the public view, and, therefore, are limited in their visual impact on the dwelling’s historical aesthetic. Specifically, as it relates to the aspects of integrity, the original materials, design, and workmanship of the building remains readily visible. Integrity of setting, feeling, and association also remains as the property still “reads” as a pre-1900 residential property among a neighborhood of similarly aged and developed properties. The dwelling also retains integrity of location given that it remains on the original parcel and in the original location on that parcel. Property Setting The Chaffin House occupies a square-shaped 0.205-acre lot on the southwest corner of the intersection of 100 East and 200 North. This location is in the heart of Farmington’s historical core. The surrounding properties and immediate neighborhood are residential in nature and Section 7 page 7 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service / National Register of Historic Places Registration Form NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 Chaffin, Henry and Leatha, House Davis County, UT Name of Property County and State contain many historical buildings of comparable age as well as more recent properties. The parcel on which this dwelling is located is generally flat and developed with common residential landscape—lawn grasses in the front yard along with occasional trees and shrubs and rockscaped planter areas. The rear and north side yards are characterized by a concrete paver landscape containing built-up planter boxes and garden beds. The setback from the frontage road is moderate. The property location is within the primary street grid of Farmington. In this area, the grid comprises a series of east-west and north-south streets. This grid is typical of communities established by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, especially during the settlement years. This street configuration follows what is known as the Plat of Zion—a community layout set forth by Joseph Smith, the founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints. In this plat, equally sized blocks in the heart of the plat were divided into lots for residential, commercial, and public development while surrounding lands were allocated for farming, livestock grazing, and other activities. In Farmington, the core plat was a backwards Lshaped area centered along Main Street (north-south) and State Street (east-west). A review of properties in this area indicates development in this area occurred largely simultaneously across the area, with scattered buildings throughout the area by the end of the settlement era in 1896. Subsequent development occurred as infill amongst the earlier buildings and expansion beyond the core area. Ancillary Buildings Two non-contributing outbuildings are located on the parcel with the eligible dwelling. These buildings include a detached garage (Photograph 15) built during the early 2000s and a small pre-fabricated shed (Photograph 16) that was also constructed in the early 2000s. The garage was built with the same type of brick as the dwelling—they may have been salvaged—and the same type of wood shingle siding. It was built with segmental arch lintels and raking moldings to mimic the Victorian style of the associated dwelling. The second outbuilding is a small, prefabricated shed with lapped wood siding and shingle siding and a front-gable roof. Both of these buildings are considered non-contributing to this National Register nomination.

The Henry and Leatha Chaffin House in Farmington, Davis County, Utah, was originally constructed ca. 1881 and is significant at the local level under Criterion C. It meets the requirements for and is being nominated under the Settlement Era Buildings of Farmington, 1847 to 1896 MPS. The Chaffin House is significant under Criterion C within the area of Architecture as a strong and relatively rare extant representation of pioneer housing during the period in which the community of Farmington was settled. It is significant at the local level as one of only a handful of residential properties from the Settlement Era in Farmington to both remain standing and retain sufficient integrity to reflect its period of construction and period of significance. It is also among the oldest remaining Victorian style buildings in Farmington that retains historic integrity relative to its place as an early example of brick construction that slowly replaced the adobe and stone construction of the early settlement period. The period of significance for this property is limited to ca. 1881, which reflects the estimated original construction date of the dwelling. ______________________________________________________________________________ Narrative Statement of Significance (Provide at least one paragraph for each area of significance.) Significance Under Criterion C The significance of the Chaffin House under Criterion C in the area of Architecture derives from two key factors within the context of the MPS. First, the dwelling was built during the heart of Farmington’s settlement period and is one of a small number of dwellings remaining from this era. Second, it is one of an even smaller number of settlement era dwellings that retain sufficient integrity to reflect the culture and tradition of the time. Specifically, the dwelling exhibits both the Victorian Eclectic style that rose in popularity in Utah during the late-1800s as the state’s connection to the broader national architectural landscape via expanded modes of communication and the vernacular Classical styling of the settlement period in Farmington. The combination of these stylistic elements makes the Chaffin House an excellent representation of pioneer era housing in Farmington, which drew initially on the common (Classical) forms known from the eastern United States from which most of the early settlers of the area emigrated. These classical forms then evolved into Victorian forms as the cultural and economic isolation of the area reduced following the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad in 1869. The Chaffin House also exhibits strong elements of vernacular Victorian styling common in Utah at the time the dwelling was constructed. The use of Victorian styling, in both “pure” and vernacular forms, was popular in Utah between 1880 and 1910. Victorian style supplanted Classical style in popularity in Utah by the end of the 1800s. While high-style forms were found on larger homes, rendering many of them quite elaborate in the asymmetrical facades, barge boards, arched window openings, shingle siding, and related features, smaller, simpler vernacular Section 8 page 11 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service / National Register of Historic Places Registration Form NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 Chaffin, Henry and Leatha, House Davis County, UT Name of Property County and State versions that largely limited themselves to the components of asymmetry and arched window openings. The Chaffin House exhibits these key elements. Only six other dwellings dating to the settlement era are known to exist in the community and retain a similarly high degree of architectural integrity as the Chaffin House. All seven buildings exhibit an equal degree of integrity, which is much higher than other buildings of this era in the community. Another 95 buildings in Farmington are estimated to date to the settlement period of the community but have been altered too substantially to qualify for listing on the National Register. This makes the Chaffin House part of the mere 7-percent of pre-1896 buildings in the community with sufficient integrity to represent the city’s pioneer past. Of the seven total buildings of the settlement era with historical integrity, the Chaffin House is the only dwelling with brick as the predominant construction material. The dwelling is also an early example of the transition from adobe and stone masonry construction--which was the norm in Farmington during the first half of the Settlement Era--to brick construction when locally produced brick became available. It is also an early example of the application of Victorian style to dwellings in the area; Victorian style was more common during the terminal part of the Settlement Era. In fact, the Chaffin House is the only predominantly brick dwelling in Farmington exhibiting Victorian style that dates to the Settlement Era and retains sufficient integrity to reflect its association with that period. The Chaffin House qualifies for consideration under the registration criteria set forth for residential properties in the associated MPS (Settlement Era Buildings of Farmington, 1847 to 1896). The significance of this property type within the MPS context includes the fact that residential structures are: A) the predominant extant property type associated with the period (i.e., residential properties are among the only extant hallmarks of the community’s pioneer heritage); B) reflective of the early settlement history of the community and its evolution from a relative frontier outpost to a permanent city; C) curated examples of the earliest beginnings of the Farmington community and the adaptation of architectural types and styles to the sometimes unique cultural needs and expectations of an early settlement established by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS 3); and D) a reflection of the changing access to construction materials (e.g., evolving from local fieldstone and sun-dried adobe brick to kilnfired brick) and the introduction of “higher style” adornment following the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad in 1869 and the connection of communities along the Wasatch Front to national markets and national ideas. As discussed, the Chaffin House meets all four of these considerations. The Chaffin House satisfies the registration requirements for residential properties under Criterion C as established in the Settlement Era Buildings of Farmington, 1847 to 1896 MPS. Specifically, the dwelling was constructed ca. 1881, well within the period of significance for the MPS (Registration Requirement 1). The dwelling retains its original location of construction Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are often referred to as Mormons or LDS, and the church organization itself is frequently referred to as the Mormon Church or the LDS Church. Church leadership recently directed its membership to avoid using such terms and use the full name of the church instead. The term LDS Church is used herein solely for the purpose of brevity and ease of readability and should not be interpreted otherwise. 3 Section 8 page 12 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service / National Register of Historic Places Registration Form NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 Chaffin, Henry and Leatha, House Davis County, UT Name of Property County and State from the period of significance (Registration Requirement 2). It also retains sufficient integrity of type, style, materials, and manner of construction common to residential buildings in Farmington during the period of significance (Registration Requirement 3). Additional Historical Information The Chaffin House appears to have been constructed by or for Frederick Coombs, though it appears unlikely Coombs ever resided in the dwelling. Coombs used the land on which the Chaffin House is located to host a molasses mill (reportedly the first in Utah). 4 The mill operated during the 1850s. By 1881, the current dwelling had been built on the property. Coombs sold the property to Henry Chaffin in July of that year for a sum of $1,000—an amount indicative of the presence of some type of improvements (e.g., buildings) on the land. Chaffin retained the property until September 1884, at which time he sold it to Charles S. Sanders. It does not appear that Chaffin made any major changes (i.e., additions) to the dwelling. Sanders and his wife, Mary, retained the property until the early-1900s and did not make any major changes to the dwelling. Mr. Sanders died in 1891 or 1892 (sources provide different dates), but Mrs. Sanders stayed in the home until her death in 1906. In 1904, two years prior to her death, she deeded the property to her oldest son, Charles B. Sanders. The Henry Chaffin associated with this property appears to be Henry Albert Chaffin, who was born in Illinois in 1839. He had emigrated to Utah by September 1860; at which time he married Harriet Katz in Salt Lake City. Harriet was born in 1843 in the same county in Illinois where Henry had been born a few years earlier. She emigrated to Utah with her family in 1852 at the age of 8 years. The couple appears to have had one child—a daughter named Iona—during their union. Harriet and Henry appear to have divorced as she married Alonzo C. Waite in 1866. While polygamy was common among members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, of which Harriet and Henry were members, such polygamy only occurred with males having multiple female spouses and not vice versa. Thus, it is safe to assume that a divorce had occurred. Three years later, in 1869, Henry married Leatha Jane Crow in southern Utah. The couple had 12 children between the time of their marriage and 1892. One of the children, Henry Lafayette Chaffin, was born in Farmington in 1883, during the time that Mr. Chaffin owned the dwelling at 189 North 100 East. Genealogical records indicate that Henry had a third wife, Virginia Taylor, though no information about her, their marriage, or any children could be located. Little is known about Henry Chaffin’s occupation; Leatha was, understandably, occupied with caring for the couple’s bountiful brood. At the time the couple met and married, Henry was working as a freight wagon driver in the Cedar City area of Utah. He later took up farming, and after moving to Farmington, he worked as a quartermaster for the Utah Northern Railway. The couple only remained in Farmington for a few years before moving to Salt Lake City and then on to central Utah. Two of the other early owners of the property—Frederick Coombs and Charles and Mary Sanders—were among the pioneer settlers of Farmington. Frederick Coombs, specifically, was 4 Utah State Historic Preservation Office. 2024. Folder 40646 for 189 North 100 East, Farmington.

While Coombs does not appear to have ever occupied the current dwelling on the property, his connection to the land places this lot within the context of Farmington’s earliest history. Charles and Mary Sanders were somewhat later arrivals to Farmington during the Settlement Era. They appear to have arrived in the community in 1884, the same year they purchased the property from Henry Chaffin. Little biographical information is available about the couple, but Charles Sanders is known to have served as a judge during the 1880s, while living in the dwelling at 189 North 100 East. 5 The ownership history of the Chaffin House during the Settlement Era reflects the nuances of the period. Specifically, the property was initially owned by one of the founding settlers of the community and was used for industrial (molasses mill) purposes associated with the establishment of a viable settlement and the provision of food products to the relatively isolated settlers. The property was then converted over to residential uses as the settlement grew beyond the first encampment into a larger and more diverse community. More housing was needed to accommodate the steady influx of new settlers arriving in the years prior to Utah’s statehood. 5 Salt Lake Herald. 1886. “Davis County Judges.” July 10, Salt Lake City.

Listing on the National Register provides recognition and assists in preserving our Nation's heritage. Listing of a property provides recognition of its historic significance and assures protective review of federal projects that might adversely affect the character of the historic property. If the property is listed on the National Register, tax credits for rehabilitation and other beneficial provisions may apply. Listing in the National Register does not place limitations on the property by the federal or state government. Public visitation rights are not required of owners. The government will not attach restrictive covenants to the property or seek to acquire them. One of your responsibilities as a Certified Local Government (CLG) is to review pending National Register nominations of properties within your community. This is required, in part, to detect any errors in fact, but also to provide local insight or knowledge concerning the property. Please have your historic preservation commission review the enclosed draft nomination and return the enclosed review form with the appropriate signatures. We would appreciate hearing back from you prior to the board meeting. You are invited to attend the National Register Review Committee meeting at which the nomination will be considered. The Board will meet virtually on Thursday, January 16, 2025, at 10:00 AM.

Sincerely, Christopher W. Merritt, Ph.D. State Historic Preservation Officer Enclosures RIGHTS OF OWNERS TO COMMENT ON AND/OR OBJECT TO LISTING IN THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES Owners of private properties nominated to the National Register have an opportunity to concur with or object to listing in accord with the National Historic Preservation Act and 36 CFR 60. Any owner or partial owner of private property who chooses to object to listing may submit to the State Historic Preservation Officer a statement certifying that the party is the sole or partial owner of the private property and objects to the listing. Each owner or partial owner of private property has one vote regardless of the portion of the property that the party owns. If a majority of private property owners object, a property will not be listed. However, the State Historic Preservation Office shall submit the nomination to the Keeper of the National Register of Historic Places for a determination of eligibility of the property rather than a listing in the National Register. If you choose to object to the listing of your property, the objection must be submitted to Christopher Merritt (cmerritt@utah.gov), State Historic Preservation Officer, 3760 S. Highland Drive, Salt Lake City, Utah 84106, before the scheduled date of the Utah Board of State History meeting to consider the nomination. Other comments regarding the nomination of this property should also be directed to Mr. Merritt prior to the meeting date. A copy of the nomination, along with information on the National Register and the Federal and State tax provisions, is available at https://ushpo.utah.gov/shpo/preservation/ or from the above address on request. If you support the listing of your property, you may send a letter or email to that effect to Mr. Merritt at either the mailing or email address listed above, though there is no requirement that you respond in support. Lack of a response from a property owner is considered a sign of support or lack of opposition. NATIONAL REGISTER--BENEFITS AND RESTRICTIONS What is the National Register? The National Register of Historic Places is the official federal list of properties that are significant in American history, architecture, archeology, and engineering. It was established by the federal government in 1966 as part of the National Historic Preservation Act. Why would someone list their property on the National Register? While listing on the National Register is primarily an honorary recognition of the historic or architectural significance of a property, owners also list their buildings to qualify for federal and/or state rehabilitation tax credits or grants, when available (see below). Listing on the National Register can also help educate the public and change a community's perception of its historic and cultural resources. Does listing limit an owner's property rights? Listing in the National Register does not interfere with a private property owner's right to alter, manage or dispose of the listed property. The owner is not required to restore or maintain the property or open it to the public. Local preservation ordinances, where present, may have some implication for a property owner. Local ordinances are not associated with the National Register. Who can nominate properties to the National Register? Any interested person can research and nominate any property to the National Register. The legal owner has the right to comment on or object to and prevent the listing of their private property. For historic districts, each property owner is provided an opportunity to comment on/object to the nomination. However, at least 51% of property owners must object to prevent the listing of a district. Is there money available for restoration? Limited matching grants are occasionally available for the preservation of properties listed on the National Register -- contact the State Historic Preservation Office for more information. RESULTS OF LISTING IN THE NATIONAL REGISTER Eligibility for Federal tax provisions: If a property is listed in the National Register, federal law potentially allows for a 20 percent investment tax credit with a full adjustment to basis for the “substantial rehabilitation” of historic commercial, industrial, and rental residential buildings. Whether these provisions are advantageous to a property owner is dependent upon the particular circumstances of the property and the owner. For further information on certification requirements, please refer to 36 CFR 67. More information on federal tax credits is available at this link https://ushpo.utah.gov/shpo/financialincentives/ Eligibility for State tax provisions: The Utah State Legislature created a state income tax credit for the rehabilitation of historic (i.e., National Register listed) residential buildings, either owner-occupied or rental. The credit is 20% of the cost of rehabilitation work totaling more than $10,000. All of the proposed rehabilitation work must meet the Secretary of the Interior’s “Standards for Rehabilitation” and must be pre-approved by the State Historic Preservation Office. More information on the state tax credits is available at this link: https://ushpo.utah.gov/shpo/financial-incentives/ Consideration in planning for Federal, federally licensed and federally assisted projects: Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 requires that Federal agencies to take account their actions on those resources eligible or listed on the National Register of Historic Places. For further information, please refer to 36 CFR 800. More information on compliance projects is available at this link: https://ushpo.utah.gov/shpo/shpo-compliance/ Qualification for Federal or State grants for historic preservation when available: Presently, limited funding may be available through the Certified Local Government (CLG) program. Direct grants to property owners are also occasionally available. For information about possible grants, contact the State Historic Preservation Office.

TRUMP 189 NORTH 100 EAST FARMINGTON, UT 84025 Dear Grace: We are pleased to inform you that the historic property listed below will be considered by the Utah National Register Review Committee for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places: HENRY AND LEATHA CHAFFIN HOUSE, 189 NORTH 100 EAST, FARMINGTON, UT The National Register of Historic Places is the federal government's official list of historic properties worthy of preservation. Listing on the National Register provides recognition and assists in preserving our Nation's heritage. Listing of a property provides recognition of its historic significance and assures protective review of federal projects that might adversely affect the character of the historic property. If the property is listed on the National Register, tax credits for rehabilitation and other beneficial provisions may apply. Listing in the National Register does not place limitations on the property by the federal or state government. Public visitation rights are not required of owners. The government will not attach restrictive covenants to the property or seek to acquire them. Enclosed please find a notice that explains, in greater detail, the results of listing in the National Register. It also describes the rights and procedures by which an owner may comment on or object to listing on the National Register. You are invited to attend the National Register Review Committee meeting at which the nomination will be considered. The Board will meet virtually on Thursday, January 16, 2025, at 10:00 AM. You may join Zoom Meeting at: https://utah-gov.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_prs5VkhPQpuS2RuTpyGWYA Should you have any questions about this nomination before the meeting, please contact Cory Jensen of the Historic Preservation Office at 801/245-7242, or coryjensen@utah.gov.

Any owner or partial owner of private property who chooses to object to listing may submit to the State Historic Preservation Officer a statement certifying that the party is the sole or partial owner of the private property and objects to the listing. Each owner or partial owner of private property has one vote regardless of the portion of the property that the party owns. If a majority of private property owners object, a property will not be listed. However, the State Historic Preservation Office shall submit the nomination to the Keeper of the National Register of Historic Places for a determination of eligibility of the property rather than a listing in the National Register. If you choose to object to the listing of your property, the objection must be submitted to Christopher Merritt (cmerritt@utah.gov), State Historic Preservation Officer, 3760 S. Highland Drive, Salt Lake City, Utah 84106, before the scheduled date of the Utah Board of State History meeting to consider the nomination. Other comments regarding the nomination of this property should also be directed to Mr. Merritt prior to the meeting date.

If you support the listing of your property, you may send a letter or email to that effect to Mr. Merritt at either the mailing or email address listed above, though there is no requirement that you respond in support. Lack of a response from a property owner is considered a sign of support or lack of opposition. NATIONAL REGISTER--BENEFITS AND RESTRICTIONS What is the National Register? The National Register of Historic Places is the official federal list of properties that are significant in American history, architecture, archeology, and engineering. It was established by the federal government in 1966 as part of the National Historic Preservation Act. Why would someone list their property on the National Register? While listing on the National Register is primarily an honorary recognition of the historic or architectural significance of a property, owners also list their buildings to qualify for federal and/or state rehabilitation tax credits or grants, when available (see below). Listing on the National Register can also help educate the public and change a community's perception of its historic and cultural resources. Does listing limit an owner's property rights? Listing in the National Register does not interfere with a private property owner's right to alter, manage or dispose of the listed property. The owner is not required to restore or maintain the property or open it to the public. Local preservation ordinances, where present, may have some implication for a property owner. Local ordinances are not associated with the National Register. Who can nominate properties to the National Register? Any interested person can research and nominate any property to the National Register. The legal owner has the right to comment on or object to and prevent the listing of their private property. For historic districts, each property owner is provided an opportunity to comment on/object to the nomination. However, at least 51% of property owners must object to prevent the listing of a district. Is there money available for restoration? Limited matching grants are occasionally available for the preservation of properties listed on the National Register -- contact the State Historic Preservation Office for more information. RESULTS OF LISTING IN THE NATIONAL REGISTER Eligibility for Federal tax provisions: If a property is listed in the National Register, federal law potentially allows for a 20 percent investment tax credit with a full adjustment to basis for the “substantial rehabilitation” of historic commercial, industrial, and rental residential buildings. Whether these provisions are advantageous to a property owner is dependent upon the particular circumstances of the property and the owner. For further information on certification requirements, please refer to 36 CFR 67. More information on federal tax credits is available at this link https://ushpo.utah.gov/shpo/financialincentives/ Eligibility for State tax provisions: The Utah State Legislature created a state income tax credit for the rehabilitation of historic (i.e., National Register listed) residential buildings, either owner-occupied or rental. The credit is 20% of the cost of rehabilitation work totaling more than $10,000. All of the proposed rehabilitation work must meet the Secretary of the Interior’s “Standards for Rehabilitation” and must be pre-approved by the State Historic Preservation Office. More information on the state tax credits is available at this link: https://ushpo.utah.gov/shpo/financial-incentives/ Consideration in planning for Federal, federally licensed and federally assisted projects: Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 requires that Federal agencies to take account their actions on those resources eligible or listed on the National Register of Historic Places. For further information, please refer to 36 CFR 800. More information on compliance projects is available at this link: https://ushpo.utah.gov/shpo/shpo-compliance/ Qualification for Federal or State grants for historic preservation when available: Presently, limited funding may be available through the Certified Local Government (CLG) program. Direct grants to property owners are also occasionally available. For information about possible grants, contact the State Historic Preservation Office.

Too general? Too specific? Have contrib. and non-contrib. features been clearly identified? Page 7: I really appreciated you taking the time to explain how the historic integrity of the building complies with the Farmington MPS’s criteria. Great documentation and reference for later researchers! Descriptions are clear and easy to follow. OK Concerns SIGNIFICANCE AND CONTEXT: Has the appropriate Criterion been used? Has it been justified? Is the context sufficient in breadth and depth to support the claims of significance? Is the narrative history complete and of the appropriate detail? ca. 1881 Criterion C o Among the oldest remaining Victorian style buildings in Farmington that retains historic integrity relative to its place as an early example of brick construction that slowly replaced the adobe and stone construction of the early settlement period. o Of the seven total buildings of the settlement era with historical integrity, the Chaffin House is the only dwelling with brick as the predominant construction material. OK Concerns FACTS AND SOURCES: Are the appropriate and best sources used? Are key dates and facts accurate and supported with references? Good list of references and sources.

Floor plan and exterior photos are really helpful! COMMENTS/QUESTIONS: Meets the criteria for listing as outlined in the Settlement Era Buildings of Farmington, 1847 to 1896: o “If the building is a rare intact example of a particular house type in Farmington, a greater degree of alteration may be acceptable. For example, a Settlement Era single cell house that has been covered with newer siding but generally retains its original form, massing, and a few windows or other significant architectural features may be considered eligible. Similarly, one of these house types that retains its original siding but has newer windows or a new porch, or an addition on the side or rear of the house, may also be considered eligible.” o “Additions, including out-of-period additions, may be acceptable if the addition is at the rear of the historical building or subordinate to the historical building in size/massing and does not substantially change the overall form and massing of the original dwelling, does not substantially obscure the original dwelling, and is distinguishable from the original dwelling.” NATIONAL REGISTER NOMINATION EVALUATION SHEET NRHP Review Committee Meeting Date: PROPERTY NAME: ADDRESS: EVALUATOR: DATE: INTEGRITY: OK Major alterations or additions?

This rock home was built on that land in 1870 and deeded to Arthur Stayner for $400.00. Furnishings were valued at $28.50. The house was remodeled to its present condition by George Palmer in 1905. The interior was remodeled between 1965 and 1970. Eleven different families have owned this home. The current owners are Doug and Deanna Simmons. Q) James Henry Wilcox Home 93 East 100 North Built in 1870 of granite gneiss, this was the "downtown" home of Farmington's first mayor, James H. and Anne Robinson Wilcox. James served as mayor at the time of the city's incorporation in 1892, the town's population then was 1,180. The rock lean-to was added before 1916 and gives the house a "salt-box" shape. This home displays one of the most pristine examples of Victorian trim (gingerbread) in Farmington. It is now owned by Darrick Blood. @ ~ The Old Udy Home 189 North 100 East James Rawl Udy and his wife Lona built this home in 1892 on the site of the first molasses mill in Utah, which had been built by Fred Coombs in the 1850's.

The building, originally constructed ca. 1881, occupies a square-shaped 0.205 -acre lot on the southwest corner of the intersection of 100 East and 200 North. The date of construction and the dwelling’s historical integrity qualify it for nomination under the Settlement Era Buildings of Farmington, 1847 to 1896 Multiple Property Submission (MPS). The historical integrity of The exterior of the dwelling has been altered throughimpacted by replacement of historical windows, minor use of the modern wood shingle siding and the stone veneer, possible alteration of one former doorway, and a rear addition. Collectively, these alterations are sufficiently minor as to not affect the dwelling’s eligibility for listing on the National Register under the MPS. Two noncontributing outbuildings are located on the property. One is a detached garage located northwest of the dwelling, and the other is a pre-fabricated shed located south-southeast of the dwelling. _____________________________________________________________________________ Narrative Description The Ghaffin–Sanders House is a 1one-story single-family dwelling located on the southwest corner of 100 East and 200 North in Farmington. The property qualifies for nomination under the Settlement Era Buildings of Farmington, 1847 to 1896 MPS. The brick and stone dwelling fronts Section 7 page 4 Commented [CJ1]: Provide brief setting description here and elaborate below United States Department of the Interior National Park Service / National Register of Historic Places Registration Form NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 Ghaffin–Sanders House Davis County, UT Name of Property County and State on 100 East and is located in the approximate center of a roughly square lot encompassing 0.205 acre. The dwelling has a cross-wing form and was reportedly constructed in 1892 according to County Recorder records; however, biographical and other information suggests the dwelling was likely constructed somewhat earlier, ca. 1881. 1 The setback from the frontage road is moderate. The front yard is landscaped with rock gardens, hedges, and a mature pine tree. The rear yard is partially fenced with a decorative (but modern) wrought iron or steel fence and largely comprises a brick-paver patio area. Two non-contributing outbuildings are located on the property. One is a detached garage located northwest of the dwelling, and the other is a prefabricated shed located south-southeast of the dwelling. The dwelling exhibits Victorian Eclectic style that can be seen in the arched lintels of the windows and exterior doors. Muted Classical styling is seen in raking moldings that line the moderately deep eaves. The building rests on a mortared stone foundation and has a moderately steep gable roof (with a broken cat-slide form) clad in modern asphalt shingles. The majority of the building is clad in regular brick, but stone veneer was applied to front of the dwelling in the porch area sometime after 2000, and wooden shingles have been applied to the rear porch gable. No external chimneys or similar features were observed. The exterior of the dwelling has been altered somewhat through replacement of historical windows, minor use of the modern wood shingle siding and the stone veneer, possible alteration of one former doorway, and a rear addition. These alterations are discussed in more detail below. Collectively, these alterations are sufficiently minor as to not affect the dwelling’s eligibility for listing on the National Register under the MPS. Exterior As noted above, the Ghaffin–Sanders House exhibits a cross-wing form created by a long northsouth oriented wing with a shorter cross-wing ell at the north end. The east elevation of the dwelling constitutes the apparent original primary façade, though a second entry is located in the north (side) elevation, which fronts on 200 North. Expectedly, the east elevation is the most ornate of the elevations. It exhibits three window openings, a doorway, and a porch. The porch is located at center in the elevation. It is slightly recessed and beings on the north at the south edge of the cross-wing ell. The walls of the recessed area are clad in ca. 1970s unpainted stone veneer. It is unclear exactly when this veneer was applied. It is possible, perhaps even likely, that the veneer was applied to obscure an additional doorway that would have accessed the cross-wing ell or similar changes to fenestration. Although the veneer is an out-of-period alteration, the stone is sufficiently in-keeping with the type and appearance of stone masonry construction known as a hallmark of the Farmington community. As such, it is not considered an undue impingement on the building’s integrity. The porch roof is supported by two tall battered wood columns. The primary entry/doorway into the dwelling is located in the recessed porch area and is situated just north of center in the elevation. The doorway exhibits a transom that holds a single-pane window. The three windows in this east elevation are located with one at center in the cross-wing 1 Davis County Recorder. 2024.

The window opening in the cross-wing ell is large and generally rectangular in shape with the long axis oriented vertically. It has a segmental arch lintel composed of regular brick and a thin tan sandstone sill. The opening holds a two-pane, wood-framed, fixed- sash window. As with all windows in the dwelling, this window appears to be a modern replica of the historical window type. The window opening in the porch section of the elevation is located roughly 6 feet south of the doorway and is also rectangular in shape with the long axis oriented vertically. It has a flat lintel and a thin sandstone sill. This opening holds a wood-framed, 1-over-1, single-hung window. The southernmost of the three window openings is located roughly 6 feet south of the south edge of the porch/recessed area. This opening is similar in shape and design to the northernmost window but smaller in size. It holds a wood-framed, 1-over-1, single-hung window. The north elevation of the dwelling may have served as a secondary façade historically. The elevation exhibits two windows and a doorway arranged symmetrically. The doorway is located at center and is accessed by a small concrete stoop. The opening exhibits a brick, segmental arch lintel and has a single-pane transom at the top. The two window openings are arranged with one each located equidistant east and west of the doorway. Both openings have brick segmental arch lintels and thin sandstone sills. Both hold wood-framed, 1-over-1, single-hung windows. A plaque created by Farmington City is affixed to the wall near the east end of the elevation. This plaque denotes a construction date of 1892 for the dwelling and refers to it as the Rawl Udy Home. Research conducted for this nomination has proven this information to be incorrect. The west elevation of the dwelling constitutes the rear of the structure. It exhibits an irregular form created by a projecting portion of the cross-wing ell at the north end and an apparent addition at center. The addition is also constructed of brick and mortar that closely matches that of the original building; salvaged bricks may have been used. The addition is a wide, cross-gable structure with a raised porch and porch cover extending from its west elevation. The gable wall of the porch cover is clad in modern wooden shingles. The exact date of construction of the addition is unclear, but the current property owner indicated they had been told by previous owners that it was constructed during the Depression (i.e., late-1920s to early-1940s). Because the addition is located on the rear elevation of the dwelling and is moderate in size, it is clearly subordinate to the original portion of the dwelling and does not eliminate greatly impact the building’s historical integrity. Two windows openings and a doorway are present in the west elevation of the dwelling. One window opening is located north of the addition in the wall of the cross-wing ell. This opening has a brick segmental arch lintel, a thin concrete sill, and holds a wood-framed, 1-over-1, singlehung window. The second window and the doorway are located in the area of the porch addition. The doorway is located at the north edge of the addition, which places effectively at center in the elevation. The opening holds a double (French) door that opens onto the raised porch landing. To the south of the doorway is the second window opening. This opening as a brick flat-arch lintel, a thin concrete sill, and holds an aluminum-framed, 1-over-1, single hung window. Section 7 page 6 Commented [CJ3]: Aluminum? Vinyl?

Two of the openings are located at center in the elevation, and one is located in the south wall of the rear addition. The pair of openings at center in the elevation are identical in size and shape. They have brick segmental arch lintels and thin sandstone sills and hold wood-framed, 1over-1, single-hung windows. The eastern of the two openings exhibits evidence in the brickwork below it that this may have been a doorway at one time. The bricks below the opening have been cut in two lines matching the width of the existing opening and extending downward, essentially meeting the stone foundation. The bricks in between the two cuts are very similar to but slightly different from the surrounding brick. This suggests the opening may have held a doorway. The westernmost window opening, which is located in the wall of the apparent rear addition, is smaller than the eastern two openings, exhibits a brick flat arch and concrete sill, and holds a wood-framed, single-pane, fixed sash window. Interior The interior of the dwelling includes the main floor and a partial basement. The basement was, according to the current property owner, excavated under the dwelling during the modern era. It is used at present as a storage and laundry room. Upon entering the front door, one is found in the hall room at the center of the original double cross-wing. To the right (north), also in the original wing, is a smaller room that would have served as the parlor. To the left (south) of the hall is an even smaller room that is now used as a bedroom and likely was used for similar purposes originally. Continuing west through the central hall room one enters the rear addition. This section includes a bathroom, kitchen, and office/bedroom. The stairwell to the basement is located in the southern part of the kitchen. Commented [CJ4]: This wouldn’t be considered a Double Cross Wing, which is more of an H plan. Interior finishes in the dwelling are almost entirely modern. The exceptions are the original lath and plaster wall finishes, casing/moldings around the interior doorways, and windows and older transoms found over some of the interior doorways. Historic Integrity D Formatted: Font: Bold Ancillary Buildings Two non-contributing outbuildings are located on the parcel with the eligible dwelling. These buildings include a detached garage and a small pre-fabricated shed. The garage was built with the same type of brick as the dwelling—they may have been salvaged— and the same type of wood shingle siding. It was built with segmental arch lintels and raking moldings to mimic the Victorian style of the associated dwelling. The second outbuilding is a small, pre-fabricated shed with lapped wood siding and shingle siding and a front-gable roof. Both of these buildings are considered non-contributing to this National Register nomination. Commented [CJ5]: Dates, or approximate dates?

The Ghaffin–Sanders House in Farmington, Davis County, Utah, was originally constructed ca. 1881 and is significant at the local level under Criterion A. It is significant under Criterion A within the area of Exploration/Settlement as a strong and relatively rare extant representation of pioneer housing during the period in which the community of Farmington was settled. The Ghaffin–Sanders House meets the requirements for and is being nominated under the Settlement Era Buildings of Farmington, 1847 to 1896 MPS. The period of significance for this property is 1881 to 1896, which reflects the estimated construction date of the dwelling and the terminal date of the MPS. ______________________________________________________________________________ Narrative Statement of Significance (Provide at least one paragraph for each area of significance.) The Settlement Era Buildings of Farmington, 1847 to 1896 MPS establishes the context and registration requirements for buildings built during the period of significance for the MPS. The Ghaffin–Sanders House qualifies for consideration under the registration criteria set forth in the MPS for residential properties. The significance of this property type within the MPS context includes the fact that residential structures are A) the predominant extant property type associated with the period (i.e., residential properties are among the only extant hallmarks of the community’s pioneer heritage); B) reflective of the early settlement history of the community and its evolution from a relative frontier outpost to a permanent city; C) curated examples of the earliest beginnings of the Farmington community and the adaptations of architectural types and styles to the sometimes unique cultural needs and expectations of an early settlement established by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS 2); and D) reflections of the changing access to construction materials, e.g., evolving from local fieldstone and sun-dried adobe brick to kiln-fired bricks, and the introduction of “higher style” adornment following the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad in 1869 and the connection of communities along the Wasatch Front to national markets and national ideas. As discussed in more detail below, the Ghaffin–Sanders House meets all four of these considerations. The Ghaffin–Sanders House satisfies the registration requirements for residential properties under Criterion A as established in the Settlement Era Buildings of Farmington, 1847 to 1896 MPS. Specifically, the dwelling was constructed ca. 1881, in the heart of the period of significance for the MPS (Registration Requirement 1). The dwelling retains its original location of construction from the period of significance (Registration Requirement 2). It also retains 2 Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are often referred to as Mormons or LDS, and the church organization itself is frequently referred to as the Mormon Church or the LDS Church. Church leadership recently directed its membership to avoid using such terms and use the full name of the church instead. The term LDS Church is used herein solely for the purpose of brevity and ease of readability and should not be interpreted otherwise. Section 8 page 11 Commented [CJ6]: The MPS should not determine the Period of Significance. The POS is determined specifically by the building’s significance. Like with the Burns-Wood House, this doesn’t clearly know what it wants to be? If it’s Criterion A, it needs to focus on a significant historical association/event, Criterion B, a person; Criterion C the architecture specifically. And this will determine the POS. It’s fine if the POS extends beyond the parameters of the MPS, as long as it covers part of the POS. United States Department of the Interior National Park Service / National Register of Historic Places Registration Form NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 Ghaffin–Sanders House Davis County, UT Name of Property County and State sufficient integrity of type, style, materials, and manner of construction common to residential buildings in Farmington during the period of significance (Registration Requirement 3). Significance Under Criterion A The significance of the Ghaffin–Sanders House under Criterion A derives from two key factors within the context of the MPS. First, the dwelling was built during the heart of Farmington’s settlement period and is one of a small number of dwellings remaining from this era. Second, it is one of an even smaller number of settlement era dwellings that retain sufficient integrity to reflect the culture and tradition of the time. The dwelling appears to have been constructed by or for Frederick Coombs, who used the land to host a molasses mill (reportedly the first in Utah). 3 The mill operated during the 1850s. By 1881, the current dwelling had been built on the property, though it does not appear that Coombs resided there. Rather, he sold the property to Henry Ghaffin in July of that year for a sum of $1,000—an amount indicative of the presence of some type of improvements (e.g., buildings) on the land. Ghaffin retained the property until September 1884, at which time he sold it to Charles S. Sanders. Sanders and his wife, Mary, retained the property for the remainder of the period of significance. Mr. Sanders died in 1891 or 1892 (sources provide different dates), but Mrs. Sanders stayed in the home until her death in 1906. In 1904, two years prior to her death, she deeded the property to her oldest son, Charles B. Sanders. Two of the early owners of the property—Frederick Coombs and Charles and Mary Sanders— were among the pioneer settlers of Farmington. No biographical information could be located for Henry Ghaffin. Frederick Coombs, specifically, was one of the community founders. While Coombs does not appear to have ever occupied the current dwelling on the property, his connection to the land places this lot within the context of Farmington’s earliest history. Charles and Mary Sanders were somewhat later arrivals to Farmington during the Settlement Era. They appear to have arrived in the community in 1884, the same year they purchased the property in question from Henry Ghaffin. Little biographical information is available about the couple, but Charles Sanders is known to have served as a judge during the 1880s, while living in the dwelling at 189 North 100 East. 4 The ownership history of the Ghaffin–Sanders House during the Settlement Era reflects the nuances of the period. Specifically, the property was initially owned by one of the founding settlers of the community and was used for industrial (molasses mill) purposes associated with the establishment of a viable settlement and the provision of food products to the relatively isolated settlers. The property was then converted over to residential uses as the settlement grew beyond the first encampment into a larger and more diverse community. More housing was needed to accommodate the steady influx of new settlers arriving in the years prior to Utah’s 3 Utah State Historic Preservation Office. 2024.

The dwelling is also an early example of the transition from adobe and stone masonry construction, which was the norm in Farmington during the first half of the Settlement Era, to brick construction when locally produced brick became available and an early example of the application of Victorian style to dwellings in the area; Victorian style was more common during the terminal part of the Settlement Era. In fact, the Ghaffin–Sanders House is the only predominantly brick dwelling exhibiting Victorian style that dates to the Settlement Era and retains sufficient integrity to reflect its association with that period.
