The Atkins and Smith House, is a historic house in Beaver, Utah, United States, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).[1]

Description

[edit]

The house is located at 390 North 400 West and was built in 1873.[1]

It was built in two parts, probably both by Thomas Frazer, the Scottish-born local stonemason. The first part was a one-room black rock cottage, with a symmetric window-door-window front facade, with ashlar stonework, and with wood lintels and a Greek Revival style cornice. It was one of the first "permanent" houses in Beaver, and was probably built for James Atkins.[2] The second part of the house is a pink rock one-and-a-half-story addition built around 1890 on the north side of the original cottage, with jerkinheads and a broad cornice. Its windows and doors have pink rock lintels. It was built for John A. Smith, then the new owner.[2] The house is significant for its "unaltered, historic design."[2]

The structure was listed on the NRHP April 15, 1983.[1]
