The Charles Dennis White House, at 115 E. 400 North St. in Beaver, Utah, was built around 1882. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. [1]

It was a work of stonemason Thomas Frazer. It is built of black rock (basalt) with gray granite lintels above doors and windows. Its front facade is symmetric with window-window-door-window-window openings. It has noticeably large quoins. [2]

It is notable as the largest surviving work by Frazer. It has five of the six architectural elements common to Frazer's buildings: "dormer windows, a center gable, ashlar stonework, bargeboard along the eaves and dormers, and white-painted mortar joints." Inside, there is hand-painted graining on French doors to a music room. The property also includes an original granary. [2]

It was built for one of polygamist Charles Dennis White's two families. White was a prominent citizen in Beaver, being a successful farmer and cattle and sheep herdsman, as well as superintendent of the large Beaver Co-op Store. [2]
