The Charles A. Dalten House, at 270 S. 1st West in Beaver, Utah, was built in 1868. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. [1]

It is notable as "A very early brick residence in Beaver, of which there were several built in Plat A during the late 1860s and 1870s. These homes were all very similar and they may have been built by the same contractor/builder. Andrew Patterson supplied the burned brick and perhaps the lime for this house as he did for several other early homes in Beaver. Though most of these similar brick homes have been altered today, at one time they all displayed two to four windows across the front facade, symmetrically placed on either side of a central door. All these houses were one story tall, with end-wall chimneys and they were finished with a Greek Revival style cornice with paired brackets. In May of 1868, Elder George A. Smith reported: '...much imporvement is going on at this place; several new burnt-brick houses are going up." ("Manuscript History of the Church,' L.D.S, Church Office Library, Salt Lake City, Utah), and it is likely that these similar houses were the ones Elder Smith was speaking of." [2]

Knight–Mangum House United States historic place

The Knight–Mangum House is a historic house located in Provo, Utah, United States. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The mansion was built in the old English Tudor style, completed in 1908. It was built for Mr. W. Lester Mangum and his wife Jennie Knight Mangum. Mrs. Mangum was the daughter of the famous Utah mining man, Jesse Knight. The lot was purchased for $3,500 and the home was built at a cost of about $40,000. The Mangum family was able to afford the home due to the fact that they had sold their shares in Jesse Knight's mine located in Tintic, Utah, for eight dollars a share. They had purchased the shares for only twenty cents a share, so the excess allowed them enough funds to purchase the home. The contractors for the home were the Alexandis Brothers of Provo.
