The Alma Staker House, at 81 E. 300 South in Mount Pleasant, Utah, was built around 1870 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]

It illustrates "syncretism", i.e. the synthesis of Eastern style, with Western materials. It is an adobe house with vernacular Greek Revival style. It has a "temple-form" or "up-right and wing" house plan, i.e. a one-and-a-half-story gabled central unit, one room wide and two deep, flanked by smaller one-story wings.[2]
