Barton, William, House
295 N. 300 East, Beaver, UTThe home is significant because it is a visible example of how a log house was incorporated into a more elaborate structure at a later date when the family acquired more prosperity. The addition and the remodeling, done c. 1900, are interesting because there are few extant houses in Beaver today that employ this style of architecture. Its 1's story height and narrow wood siding are somewhat rare for historic buildings in Beaver as wood homes from the 19th century deteriorated and were apparently frequently razed or radically altered.
Local significance of the building:Listed in National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
