The Morgan High School Mechanical Arts Building, at 20 N. One Hundred E in Morgan, Utah, was built in 1936. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. [1]

It is Art Deco in style, and was probably designed by Salt Lake City architects Scott & Welch. It is a one-story brick building with a gable roof surrounded by a parapet wall.

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.
