The John Patten House is a historic two-story house in Manti, Utah. It was built with limestone in 1854 by John Patten, a native of Fairplay, Indiana who converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the 1830s with his family and relocated to Utah in 1850. [3] Patten had two sons and three daughters with his first wife Candace Smith. [3] After she died, he married her sister Emily, and they had three sons and two daughters. [3] The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since August 22, 1977. [1]
The house is primitive vernacular in style, and, in 1977 was being restored by the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers to serve as a pioneer museum. [3] It faces west, and a 1981 photo shows it with the Manti Temple in the background, to the northeast. [4]
Its NRHP nomination lists it at 95 W. 400 North St.; the house is found, however, at northeast corner of W. 300 North and N. 100 West, instead. [2]
