The Charles W. Shaver House is a historic house at the northeast corner of Court and Spring Streets in Evening Shade, Arkansas. It is a single-story brick structure, with an L-shaped configuration that has gable roofs. Built in 1874, it is distinctive as a rare brick 19th century house in the community, and as the home of Charles W. Shaver, a son of one of the city's founders, John W. Shaver. Shaver, despite being a wheelchair user, was a successful local merchant who thrived during the American Civil War, in part by crossing military lines to acquire needed supplies for the community. The use of Greek Revival elements (an entablature and gable end returns, for example) in the house was a trend-setter in later home construction in the community. [2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. [1]

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.
