Wood-framed buildings of this age and older are very rare in Farmington, since nearly all historic buildings here were built of masonry. Hyrum Don Carlos Clark left Farmingron in 1880 to seek his fortune, first in Idaho and then in Star Valley of Wyoming. His wife, Ann Eliza Porter Clark, found the winters in Wyoming too rigorous and her health suffered. In 1908 Hyrum built this house, close by his family, for her. Victorian cottages such as this one became the basic middle-class house ini the late 19th century. This simple "T" cottage is also evidence of the continued popularity of the cross-wing plan throughout the state of Utah at the time.
