George W. Layton Home

2767 W. Gentile Street, Layton

This home was commissioned to be built in 1895 by George W. Layton. The block layout in this home was also used in the John Henry Layton home and the Joseph Adams home, however, this is the most ornate of the three. The home was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 23, 1982. The Bravo Family lived in the home from 1969 to 1989, repairing the rundown sections. It was purchased and fully restored to its original Victorian splendor. Wallpaper was stripped, revealing the original walls of the home paint was stripped from the wooden window casings and hand-painted in with wood-grain, and the floor in the entryway was refinished. The home is now used as an event venue called the "Grand Victorian."

Charles A. Layton Home

1882 W. Gentile Street, Layton

The Charles A. Layton home was designed by William Allen and built by Andrew Egbert in 1882. The home was on 39 acres of land that were purchased at the cost of $1,000. The home originally consisted of three large rooms: a kitchen, a parlor, and a bedroom. The walls on the front of the house are made of adobe bricks that were crafted on the site. In 1900, a kitchen and two upstairs bedrooms were added. A final addition in 1916 included a bathroom, indoor plumbing, and a porch behind the kitchen. The home was restored in the early 1990s.

West Layton LDS Meetinghouse

1878 W. Gentile Street, Layton

This meetinghouse was built on an acre of donated property from Charles A. Layton in 1897; it was dedicated in 1901. The building was financed exclusively through Church members and was known as the "Tithing Ward." It stood at 56 feet by 120 feet on a foundation of rock and plaster. It had a cathedral-like ceiling. The walls were four bricks thick: three were sunbaked adobe and the fourth was commercially kiln-fired adobe. The chapel had nine classrooms, all divided by green curtains. The meetinghouse was used until 1971 when it was torn down. A plaque now stands in its place.

Joseph Hyrum and Alice Ann Marston Hill Carlos Home

532 S. Angel Street, Layton

In 1909 Joseph Carlos began to build a new brick home on his existing property in front of his family's old log home. Materials were hauled to the site with team and wagon. The bricks came from the Robert Ward kiln in Kaysville, rocks for the foundation were gathered in the mountains, and the lime was from a kiln in Salt Lake City. The homne was designed by William Allen and the construction was led by Egbert.

John Henry Layton Home

683 W. Gentile, Layton

This home was commissioned in 1895 and placed on the National Historic Register in 1982. It matches the block pattern of the Joseph Adams home and the George W. Layton home. The home took a few years to complete, and the family finally moved in in 1897. They occupied the home until 1973. All the woodwork is simply decorated, with bull's-eye motifs. The window and door casings are built out of pine and painted to imitate hardwood. The fireplace was imported from England and the tile around it was imported from Ireland.

George W. Layton/Dell Adams Home

600 W. Gentile, Layton

George W. Layton built this home in 1908. They lived there until 1914 when it was sold to Lettie Adams. In 1916, she sold it to Mr. and Mrs. Delbert Hyrum Adams. The home is still in mostly the same design with a few minor changes including an enlarged kitchen and the removal of the front porch. While Adams lived in the property, the front room served as a museum for his collected relics, many of which are now on display at the Heritage Museum.

Layton Elementary School

369 W. Gentile, Layton

This school was originally built in 1902 to replace one-room school houses that were scattered throughout the city. Children would get to the school by walking, riding on horses, or wagons.

Farmer's Union Building

12 N. Main, Layton

The General Mercantile Store and Kaysville Farmer’s Union was originally a small frame building and it moved from Kaysville in 1882 to this spot. The name “Kaysville” was removed from the building and E.P. Ellison, store attendant, and Christopher Layton, the building’s owner, refused to pay taxes to Kaysville. They named their small new town Layton and pushed for incorporation. Ellison and Layton combined their capital and in 1890 and constructed an impressive two story, Victorian-style store of brick and stone with metal trim to house the Farmer’s Union institution. The building was also used as the headquarters of the group responsible for the push to organize a new town, separate from Kaysville. The building continued to play a significant role in the community of Layton, being used as a public hall and community center. Regular weekly dance with live orchestra, church events, basketball games, and political meetings were all held in the building. The Farmer’s Union dissolved in 1956, and Cannery Sales Grocery remodeled the front door to the building's southeast corner, and was followed by Family Furniture Store. Eventually, First National Bank outgrew offices in their building on the north side of Gentile St. and purchased the old Farmer’s Union building. With extensive remodeling, they moved marble teller windows and the heavy vault door across the street into the new office and opened for business in June 1981. In 2019 the name was changed to First Community Bank.

First National Bank

50 W. Gentile, Layton

The First National Bank was organized as Davis County's third bank in 1905. It was headed by Ephraim P. Ellison, James Pingree, and Rufus Adams. On November 16, 1906, an east wind severely damaged the building and the business had to move across the street to the Farmer's Union until repairs were made. In 1915, a was constructed to house the office of the Layton Sugar company. The Bank moved back to the Farmer's Union Building in 1981, leaving this building vacant.

Adams and Sons General Store

9 S. Main, Layton

Elias Adams ordered the construction of this building in 1909. Over the years, it housed many other businesses including Electrician W.D. Cummings, Henry Smedley Barber Shop, J.B. Riplinger Tailor Shop, John F. Smith Café, M.C. Phillips Bakery, Jack Sandall Barbershop, Clyde Adams Haberdashery, and Gretta Adams Beauty Parlor. It was torn down in 1936 to make way for a new service station.

Rufus Adams Home

170 N. Main, Layton

This home was built between 1888-1890, commissioned by prominent business man Rufus Adams and his wife Sarah. The once-striking red brick has been since painted white. It now is a wedding reception hall called Chantilly Manor.

Jesse Layton Harris Home

165 W. Antelope Drive, Layton

This home was originally located where Starbucks is now on the west side of Hill Field Road just north of Antelope Drive. It was moved by Howard Adams in 1987 to this new location when the Harris Farm property it sat on was purchased for development. The home originally had two floors, the main floor and a second story. However, when the home was relocated, a basement was added.

Joseph Samuel Adams Home

400 N. Adamswood Road, Layton

This home was constructed in 1889-1890. It shares the same basic block pattern as the George W. Layton Home and the John Henry Layton Home. It was designed by William Allen but built by Frank Sheffield with bricks made by Joseph at the mouth of Adams Canyon. The back two rooms were built by Joseph. In the 1990s, most of the furniture in the home was still original. The house remained in the family and was listed on the National Historic Register as one of the best examples of a turn-of-the-century farmhouse in Davis County in 1978. Today, the home is almost impossible to see through its thick grove of trees.

Edward Morris Whitesides Home

616 Elm Street, Layton

William Allen designed the additions for this home. Edward built his first home on this property before he was married. More rooms were added as his children were born. The original red brick has since been covered up and painted.

Joseph Henry Morgan Home

528 E. Elm St, Layton

This home began as a two-bedroom log cabin in 1887. As the Morgan family grew, the house also grew to include eight rooms for their twelve children.

Lettie May Adams Home

603 S. Main, Layton

After Elias Adams Jr. passed away, his widow Lettie commissioned this house to be built; it was completed in 1912. After her death in 1957, the house became a rental but remained owned by the family. Today, it is 1Nation Auto and the original brick has been painted.

Harvey William King Home

1071 N Kingswood Road, Kaysville

This home was designed by William Allen in 1912 and built by Reuben Clark McBride. Bricks from the King's first home were repurposed for the inner layers of the walls and light-colored bricks were used on the exterior. Harvey King and his wife Katherine resided in the home with their two children. The home's original address was 882 Manchester, but after King's death, the property was sold and became the King Clarion subdivision. At some point in time before 1941, the porch was enclosed. The interior contains dark woodwork, a fireplace with glass bookshelves on either side, and a large formal dining room with a built-in China buffet. The original wood floors were covered with carpet in 1955 and the seat in the bay window was removed.

Thomas J. Smith Home

472 Main Street, Kaysville

This home was built in 1900. It is a red brick structure on a coursed rubble foundation. On the northeast corner, there is an original brick lean-to. The house has been remodeled twice: once in the 1940s where rooms were divided and painted and again in the 1970s-1980s. From the latter half of the 20th century until recently, it was a commercial property. It originally was outside of the town plat and sat on over thirty acres of farmland. The property has since been reduced to just under a half-acre. In 2020, it was used in the Hallmark movie Holly and Ivy. It was placed on the National Historic Register in 2006.

Kaysville City Hall

362 N. 300 W., Kaysville

William Allen designed the first Kaysville City Hall in 1889 and Ralph Ingham worked as the contractor. $5,000 dollars were borrowed by the city to construct the building. The location of the building was chosen after a petition was signed by 72 outlying residents protesting municipal debt falling onto their shoulders; having it so far north made it closer to the "Layton" residents of Kaysville. This move was Kaysville's answer to Ephraim P. Ellison's 1884 avoidance of paying taxes because he felt Kaysville lacked jurisdiction in the Layton area. The structure was used from February 27, 1890, until 1911 when offices were moved into the Kaysville Academy building. In 1906, an east wind came through and ripped the tower off the top of the structure. The City Hall was demolished in the early 1920s.

Suzannah Ellison Robins Home

65 E. Crestwood Road, Kaysville

This home, which once sat beside the Bamberger railroad line, was built in 1907 for widow Suzannah Ellison Robins. Taking lead from William Allen, Suzannah's sons helped build her home. Until the 1960s, the home was heated by only a coal stove in the kitchen. During this time, it was updated to have a central heating system, a fireplace, an extra room behind the kitchen, and a utility room for the furnace, hot water heater, and washing facilities.

John Jr. and Maria Watkins Morton Home

46 E 200 N, Kaysville

Based on William Allen's "Cottage Design," this home was built in 1909 when the Mortons moved to Kaysville from Midway. They lived in a tent in their front yard while it was being built. Its original address was 46 East Cherry Street.

Benjamin Barrett Home

11 S. 400 E., Kaysville

This home was designed in 1902 for Benjamin Barrett. It originally sat on the corner of 11th Street and Locust Street, which has been renamed Center Street and 400 E. He lived there until 1917. The red brick exterior was first painted white in the late 1940s. The closet at the top of the stairs was turned into a half-bath and kitchen cupboards were added around the same time. The parlor fireplace is surrounded by an oak mantle and green tiles with dogs on them. In the late 80s, the home was purchased and restored; many of the walls were rotten and replaced. The original woodwork that had been painted over was stripped and re-hand grained. 15 layers of wallpaper were taken off the walls in the living room. The exterior was painted gray with white trim.

William Allen Home

8 N 300 E, Kaysville

William Allen designed and built this home for himself and his family. The land was purchased in 1870. Although the house has been added on to, the front remains nearly the same as when it was built. The small brick building behind the house was Allen's architecture studio where he drew plans for many of the buildings in the area. He was often seen sitting in his studio playing his violin.

James A. Cottrell Home

255 E. Center Street, Kaysville

In 1920, James Cottrell purchased the land next to A.M. Barnes' home on Locust Street (now Center Street). William Allen was commissioned to make the plans for the six-room house. James Cottrell and William Allen had a long-standing relationship due to Cottrell doing the plasterwork on many of Allen's buildings, most notably, the Kaysville Tabernacle.

Presbyterian Church

94 E Center Street, Kaysville

This church, which was originally known as the Haines Memorial Church, was built in 1887 and dedicated in 1888. On October 20, 1891, a Presbyterian congregation of 11 was organized. The pastor's wife also used the space to teach school to some of the children of Kaysville. In 1909, the school closed. By 1917, the church no longer offered services and it was used for third-grade overflow classes from Kaysville Elementary. A bell was installed in the tower in 1917 and rang for the last time on New Year's day in 1933 when it was sold to pay the electric bill. The building was placed on the National Historic Register in 1973. The building currently houses the Holiness Tabernacle Church of God in Christ.

Kaysville Elementary School

50 N 100 E, Kaysville

The first Kaysville Elementary School was built around 1905. It was a three-story building with six rooms and a basement. The population grew and by 1916, third graders were sent to school in the nearby Presbyterian church. In 1918, William Allen built another school that contained eight classrooms within its two stories and an office on the upper floor. The basement had two classrooms, a lunchroom, and a restroom. The 1905 building was demolished in 1937, and the bricks were used to build a gymnasium. The 1918 building was torn down in 1984 to make room for the school you see today.

Sirl R. Davis Home

109 E 100 N, Kaysville

This home was built for Sirl R. Davis, Kaysville's fire chief in the 1920s.

James and Mary Jane Proudfoot Home

61 E 100 N, Kaysville

This home was owned by the Proudfoot family from Scotland. They were known throughout the community for their bagpipes, kilts, and dancing. In the large bay windows at the front of the house, Mary Jane housed objects such as figurines, weather forecasters, dishes, and colored glass. The arrangements were constantly changed to keep the interest of the passing community members. Eventually, Hod and Clover Sanders purchased this home and used the building next door for their first potato chip factory.

Mary Ann Phillips Lewis Home

34 E 100 N, Kaysville

Widow Mary Ann (Polly) Phillips Lewis and her son Horace, a carpenter, helped build this home. Bricks were hauled from Robert Ward's brickyard on Mountain road and stone was hauled for the windowsills. After passing ownership to the Haight family and then the Brough family, the house was eventually torn down. The stained glass windows and fireplace were saved and added to the Central Davis Senior Activity Center.

Stewart-Burton Store

104 N. Main Street, Kaysville

The store that originally opened on this site was a wooden structure built by Christopher Layton in 1875. The business was sold in 1979 to Charles and Hyrum Stewart and renamed "Stewart Brothers." Charles died and Hyrum's 14-year-old nephew Christopher Burton stepped in to help. The business then became the "Stewart-Burton Store." In the interim, William Allen designed the brick structure that replaced the wooden building. It remained open until 1930. The store carried everything from groceries to dry goods, hardware, shoes, paints, coal oil, linoleum, brooms, chicken feed, and chinaware. The building still stands as Sanders Office Systems, though the rounded façade has been squared-off and the brick is covered with stucco.

Lyon-Cahoon Drug Company

63 N. Main Street, Kaysville

H.J. and Frank Sheffield built a building between his store and the Kaysville Golden Rule store in 1918. The one-story brick building would house the Lyon-Cahoon Drug Company, which was also known as Davis Drug Co. William Allen prepared the architectural plans. The front of the building was made of plate glass, prism glass, and copper. Lyon-Cahoon/Davis Drug Company occupied the building from 1918-1924. Layton's Kowley Drug opened a Kaysville location in the building in 1925, and in 1932 it became Birkin Pharmacy. The building is still standing but has been extensively remodeled and houses a dance studio.

H.J. Sheffield Store

59 N. Main Street, Kaysville

The original Sheffield store was started between Center Street and First North Street in 1889. The business quickly outgrew this space and H.J. Sheffield commissioned William Allen to build a large, brick two-story building to house his mercantile in 1892. In addition to a store, the building also housed the first telephone office from 1903-1925, the post office from 1915-1960, and a drug store. The store stayed open until 1931 when business diminished. The upper story of the building was eventually removed. The building now houses a dance studio and barber shop.

Kaysville Co-Operative Mercantile Institution

7 N. Main Street, Kaysville

This store began when the private merchants of Kaysville, John R. Barnes, William Blood, Ebenezer A. Williams, and John Bennett, combined the stock of their stores to form one single institution. It was first at 1 N. Main street, but the building was torn down in 1910 and the yellow-brick Barnes Block replaced the original structure. KCMI was the original main tenant in the new building. The store stayed in business for seventeen years when it eventually closed its doors in 1927.

Barnes Block

1 N. Main Street, Kaysville

The Barnes Block was completed in 1910. It has served as the town post office on the west side for many years and as Barnes Bank on the south side until 1958, when it moved to 33 S. Main. Everything from apartments to a dental office took residence inside the Barnes Block through the years. In 1947, the building was painted and metal cornices were added to stop water from dripping onto the sidewalk. The building now houses many businesses including an Allstate insurance office.

Richard William Barnes Home

41 W. 100 S., Kaysville

A brick home was originally built at this location sometime between the 1870s and 1884 by either a George Gailey or a George Hudson. The property was purchased by Richard William Barnes, son of John R. Barnes, in 1884. He commissioned William Allen to add several rooms and a distinctive round turret. Will, as he was called, supposedly liked to play cards and smoke with his buddies. Mrs. Barnes was a seamstress and didn’t like the men smoking in the main house, so Will built the turret for that use. The inside walls were made out of beautiful cherry wood. The inside is graced with foot-high moldings along the floor's perimeter and a beautiful fireplace. In 1914, George Ellis owned the home. In 1917, the home was purchased by Hubert C. and Millie Criddle Burton. In 1958, his daughter, Alice Rampton, and her husband Jack moved into the home and remodeled it, including removing the turret. The original porch was rotted, so it was replaced. The once-distinctive red brick is now painted white.

Davis High School

325 S. Main Street, Kaysville

When it was announced that a high school should be built in Kaysville to accommodate a growing population, plans were immediately drawn up by William Allen and John Cheseboro. Contracts for its construction were awarded in July 1914. The school was finished quickly and the first graduating class in the new building was in 1915. An Art Nouveau LDS seminary building was added across the street from the school in 1919. William Allen prepared the plans and supervised the construction. The foundation and trimmings were made of concrete and the walls of buff pressed brick. The style was designed to match the original school buildings. In 2002, a bond was passed to construct a new building and the original school was torn down; the school was finished and opened in 2004.

George W. Barnes Home

55 S. 100 W., Kaysville

This home was built in 1907 for George W. Barnes and his family. Inside the entryway are a curved staircase and a fireplace, creating a desirable interior. The home was purchased in the late 1980s and restored to its original splendor. The trim on the exterior has been replaced and repaired, and its current colors reflect those of traditional Victorians. The dining room contains crown molding, hand-stenciled trim, and a built-in hutch.

Nathan and Effie Reeves Home

39 S. 100 W., Kaysville

This home was built for the Reeves family in 1892. Five children were raised in this two-bedroom, red brick home. The thick interior walls are made of three layers of brick. Each room has an exterior door that used to lead to a yard full of fruit trees. Other rooms in the home include a dining room, a living room, and a small kitchen. Today, the exterior of the home looks much the same as it did over a hundred years ago, with its stark-white trim and painted patterns above the door and windows. The front door is original.

Earl Tall Home

68 S. 100 W., Kaysville

This home was once a traditional Victorian red-brick structure, complete with white trim. The property was originally owned by Levi and Emeline Taylor in 1871. Twenty years later it transferred hands to O.A. and Lea Taylor. In 1982, it was sold to Lillie Southworth. Samuel Layton moved in in 1898 and sold it to Emily Brough in 1908. It is unknown during which property transfer this home was constructed. During the 1930s, the home was remodeled by Earl Tall. The ceilings were lowered, hardwood floors were added, and a small basement was built on the rear of the home. Today, it has been torn down and there is a townhouse on the property.

John R. Barnes Home

10 S. 100 W., Kaysville

The original home on this spot was a small adobe structure constructed around 1869. In 1876, a large, two-story brick house was built around the adobe structure, which became the kitchen and pantry of the new house. In the 180s, Victorian houses became the prominent style and William Allen was hired to add an entirely new home onto the existing building. It incorporates both Queen Anne and Classical styles and includes a half-octagon turret and a low-pitched roof. The home has been restored today and remains a showpiece with its red brick and white and black trim. The home was added to the National Historic Register in 1982.

John George Moroni Barnes Home

42 W. Center Street, Kaysville

This two-story brick home was most likely built in two sections, one in 1880 and one in 1896, based on the brickwork. It has four elaborate Victorian chimneys on the front section and three smaller ones on the rear section. The home is identifiable by its large protruding tower with a rounded top on the front. Some alterations that have been made include an addition of a brick porch on the front, a second sleeping porch in the rear, and a shed in the northeast corner. The home was added to the National Historic Register in 1980.

Kaysville Opera House

200 W. Center Street, Kaysville

The original Kaysville Opera House began construction in 1855 and finished in 1863 due to disruptions caused by the Utah War. It was used as both a social hall and an LDS meetinghouse. Another opera house was constructed in 1875 and the meetinghouse was used solely for church-related activities until 1910 when the new opera house burned to the ground. It was decided that the original meetinghouse should be converted into an opera house and William Allen was hired for the renovations. His plans included an extension on the west end with a large stage, high ceilings, and two dressing rooms. A second feature on the east end of the building was a two-story structure with a box office, rehearsal rooms, a scenic design room, a costume room, and a one hundred and fifty-seat balcony. The addition was designed to have a brick façade with a classical look. The project took off in April 1911 with J.P. Jacobsen Construction of Salt Lake City as the contractor. Today, there is a parking lot at the site of the old opera house. A Historical Marker in the parking lot outlines more history of the original Meetinghouse.

Kaysville Tabernacle

198 W. Center Street

In 1911, it was proposed that a new Tabernacle in Kaysville be built. William Allen was commissioned to design this building that combined modern with Greek revival styles. The brick for the building came from the Kaysville Brick Company and Bennett Paint and Glass of Salt Lake made the Roman-style stained glass windows. The building sits on a concrete block foundation on a split-level plan. Features include Doric columns beneath the triangular pediment on the exterior and a Star of David window motif. The interior plaster work was done by James A. Cottrell. The chapel has exposed wooden beams in a vaulted ceiling, carved wood window and door casing, and a hand-turned balustrade enclosing the two-level rostrum.

John and Frances Barton Home

65 N. 200 W., Kaysville

This home was built in 1899 for John and Frances Barton. It was constructed of adobe brick and covered with stucco. Decorative trim lines the exterior and ornamental spindles top the points. It originally had a large screened porch on the north end, which was removed. Three bedrooms were upstairs and heated with a coal stove. The main floor contained a parlor that could be closed off by a pocket door, a living room, a kitchen, and a bedroom. The ceilings are 12 feet high. The original owner was an undertaker and all of his equipment was kept upstairs.

Hyrum Stewart Home

111 N. 200 W., Kaysville

This home was built around 1900 by Hyrum Stewart. The home is easily recognizable by its large turret topped with a metal spire. The walls are all reinforced with steel rods between the 12-inch brick walls to save it from the east winds. The house was built before indoor toilets, but a water tank was placed upstairs. In addition, there are four bedrooms, an unfinished attic, a kitchen, a library, two parlors, a dining room, and a bathroom. A coal chute entered the rooms in the cellar where the furnace was installed. The ceilings are twelve feet high. Cherubs are carved in the imported French marble fireplaces in both parlors.

Kaysville Academy

300 W. 100 N., Kaysville

The Kaysville Academy building was commissioned to be built by the LDS Church as an educational facility. It was then turned into city hall in 1911 and a jail was added to the rear of the building. In 1913, Davis High School occupied the building; this lasted until their new school was finished for the 1915 graduating class. The Academy continued to be used as the city hall until the 1930s when it was decided that the condition of the building and the need for residential housing in the area called for it to be torn down. A house now sits on the lot where the Academy once was.

James and Elizabeth Larkins Home

274 W. Center Street, Kaysville

This home was built in 1883 as a "showpiece" for the Larkins family. It was constructed of red brick and had a balcony with a railing around it above the porch. Double entrance doors finished in a dark stained wood lead to a winding Victorian staircase. A bay window lies to the right of the entry in the living room. The building was at one time turned into separate apartments, but was eventually restored as a single-family home. The exterior was painted white to save the deteriorating brick, but it has since been restored.

Governor Henry H. Blood Home

95 S. 300 W., Kaysville

This home was built for former Utah Governor Henry H. Blood in 1895. The roof has hip roof dormers and an octagonal that sits on the northwest corner, creating alcoves on the main floor, the parlor, and the upper-floor master bedroom. Stained glass lines the parlor windows. In 1915, William Allen designed an addition for the back of the home, seamlessly matching the brick and gingerbread trim of his original work. The home was purchased and restored in the 1970s, bringing in turn-of-the-century furnishings to match the original Queen Anne style.

Kaysville Milling Company

61 S. 600 W., Kaysville

The Kaysville Milling Company was established in 1905 under the direction of Henry H. Blood. It originally consisted of a five-story building with a few grain elevators. The building was destroyed by a fire in 190 due to a small volunteer fire department. The structure was rebuilt by Whiting Construction Company and continued business. It was purchased by the LDS Church in the 1940s and still is a working plant today. It sits just west of I-15 and is a recognizable landmark for the area.

Kaysville Canning Company

Approximately Old Mill Road and Center Street, Kaysville

The Kaysville Canning Company was built in 1902 and managed by John G. M. Barnes. The building had a triangular pitched roof and the name of the corporation was painted largely across the front. The company was an important part of Kaysville's economy for over fifty years. They processed beans, tomatoes, peas, and other vegetables. The building was eventually torn down.

John and Fanny Webster Home

123 N. Flint Street, Kaysville

The first section of this home was built around 1880 by William J. Barnes. John Webster moved into the home in 1912 and William Allen was hired to build the additions to accommodate the family. The bricks for the home came from the Kaysville Brickyard. The home stayed in the family until it was rented to Catherine and Gibbs Smith in 1977. They spent six months restoring it until they moved in in 1978. The open space in the middle of the home was turned into a laundry room with a large skylight and two fireplaces were added. A wall at the south end of the living room was replaced with French doors topped with stained glass windows from the Coalville Tabernacle.

Centerville Elementary

350 N. 100 E., Centerville

Centerville Elementary was built in 1916 and served the town for 68 years. It was one of Davis County's oldest elementary schools before it was razed on February 23, 1984. The yellow-brick building was two stories and housed eight floors, a narrow hall, concrete stairways, and steam-heat radiators. In 1930, a flood took out one corner of the building which was repaired. Boulders were moved east around the building's perimeter to protect it from future floods. The school also survived an arson fire in 1955, which caused extensive damage. This led to the building being remodeled and enlarged.

William and Sarah Maria Linford Criddle Home

2441 W. 1700 S., Syracuse

William and Sarah Criddle paid cash for their 11-room, two-level home in 1911. The large cement irrigation reservoir on the property made the home a popular site for baptisms. The house had 8-foot ceilings in the four attic bedrooms, making the upper rooms very open compared to other homes of the era. Oak moldings and oak doors adorned the entrances of each room. All of the original lead-glass windows were repaired and used in the home throughout the late 1990s. The house has very recently been torn down to make room for the Antelope Drive Expansion.
