The Edward Fernley House, at 215 E. 200 North in Beaver, Utah was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. [1]

It is a one-and-a-half-story brick house with some element of Gothic Revival styling, built around 1885. A one-story rear extension dates from around 1890. [2]

It was deemed "architecturally significant for several reasons. First, it remains a well preserved example w of upper-middle class domestic architecture from Beaver's principal years of x growth, c. 1875–1900. Second, its central passageway plan documents one of several important dwelling types found in 19th century Utah. Finally, the large central cross gable with flanking wall dormers house design is unique to the Beaver-Iron County area of Utah, a design which perhaps can be traced to the work of the Beaver builder-architect, Thomas Frazer.

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.
