| George Downard House, c. 1875 109 South 200 East |
|
|
|
| This two-story oolitic limestone hall-parlor house was built
in the late 1870s by George Downard and closely resembles
the Orson Hyde House. Downard was born in Kent,
England and joined the LDS church in the late 1850s. After
immigrating to Utah in 1862, he immediately located in
Spring City and supported himself as a carpenter and house
painter. The family moved to Richfield in the late 1860s but
was forced to return to Spring City under the threat of Indian
attack. Upon his return, Downard began construction
of this large stone house, completing it in the late 1870s.
In 1882 he sold the house to his son Joseph, a farmer and
member of the Spring City Council. The house remains in
the Downard family.
