The Alma Compton House is a historic house in Brigham City, Utah. It was built in 1908 as a cottage for Alma Compton, an immigrant from England,[2] and designed in the Victorian style.[3] Compton, who became a professional photographer in Brigham City,[3] lived here with his wife, née Jane E. Dalton, his son Matthew, and his two daughters.[2] The Comptons were Mormons.[2] The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since April 7, 1988.[1] The Compton Studio Photographs collection at Utah State University includes "over 100,000 original photographic negatives."[4]
