"The Braffet Block or Price Tavern is important to the history of Eastern Utah for several reasons. Its original owner, Mark P. Braffet, was a prominent Utah lawyer. During its early history, the Price Tavern was one of the most prestigious Utah hotels outside of Salt hake City. The building is also of significance because of its association with the Denver and Rio Grande Western (D&RGW) rail passenger service. As a primary rendezvous point for wholesalers and retail businessmen, the Tavern was also important to the commerce of Southeastern Utah. Architecturally, the building reflects the adaptation to problems posed by an unusual frontage configuration and represents an interesting adoption of the "Mission Style" of architecture." - National Register Nomination form
