Utah Historic Site
The Enoch E. Cowdell house, named after the original owner, was constructed around 1873 with a hall parlor type floor plan. Although the hall parlor was one of the earliest housing types in Utah, it continued to be a popular floor plan (particularly with an "L" addition off the rear) into the twentieth century. The black rock construction materials and the nearly unimpaired architectural integrity of this house make it a good example of pioneer architecture in Beaver. The house has received only two additions, giving it a nearly square layout. The first addition gave the house an "L" plan; and the second, a lean-to structure built onto the first addition, completed the square. This house is unique in that it is one of only a few black rock houses in Beaver that were not built by the Scottish stonemason Thomas Frazer. There is also a distinct ruggedness to this rock-constructed pioneer era home. The front facade maintains well-squared black blocks; however, the lack of pointed mortar joints gives this facade a rather rough appearance.| HM Number | HM1FHB |
