Black, John, House
595 N. 100 West, Beaver, UTThis home is significant because of its historic date, its relatively unaltered appearance, and its builder. Alexander Boyter was built mostly with pink rock and brick, and the most common trait among all of his homes is the fine masonry work. The style of this home is also interesting because it is most influenced by the traditional vernacular styles in Beaver. However, c. 1910 was a relatively late date to build a house in this style because by then the vernacular building methods and traditional styles were breaking down in Beaver.
Local significance of the building:Listed in National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
