Clark and Susan Leggett Clark. Sarah Sessions was the daughter Perrigrine Sessions, who founded the second settlement in Utah, now Bountiful City. This 1 1/2-story brick home was built around 1895. It combines a rich variety of elements from a number of Victorian-era architectural styles.Although the top story was destroyed by fire in the early 20th century, it was soon rebuilt. Throughout his life, Eugene Henry Clark farmed and raised livestock. This lovely home was known for having some of the best gardens and fruit orchards in Farmington.
