James W. Quayle House

The house was constructed circa 1898 for James W. Quayle. He was the son of James Quayle, a successful local rancher, businessman, and vice president of First National Bank. James W. managed his father’s store on Main Street, James Quayle and Company, which carried dry goods, guns, and ammunition. The home’s architecture is a good example of a 2 1⁄2-story cross-wing type house, with Victorian Eclecticism detailing. Elements of this style are evident in the asymmetrical plan, ornamental brickwork, variety of arches over the windows, and wood gable and porch trim. The home retains its historic character and is a contributing building within the Logan Center Street Historic District.

James W. Quayle – Keith and Elizabeth Mott Home
123 North 200 West
This two story Victorian home was constructed by James W. Quayle in 1898-1900. The Quayle family had a large store on Main Street and carried dry goods, guns, and ammunition. Keith and Elizabeth Mott purchased this home in 1992 and have carefully rescued it from many years of apart- ments, abuse, and neglect. The front Courtyard and elaborate landscape in the back of the house set the stage for the beautiful interior of this brick home.

This is a contributory home to the historic district because of age, architectural style and because of the original owner who was a prominent businessman, James W. Quayle was the son of James Quayle, a successful rancher and businessman and vice president of First National Bank. James W. managed his father’s store on Main Street, James Quayle and Co. which carried dry goods, guns and ammunition, according to the 1904 Polk Directory.

David and Sohpie Jenkins House

The home was constructed in 1914 by David and Sophie Jenkins. Architecturally, this dwelling is a good example of the Foursquare house type. This two-story version of the Foursquare house was moderately popular in Utah cities during the early 1900s. The homes generally consisted of four, square rooms on each floor, and rejected the eclectic irregularity of earlier Victorian styles. The original owner of the property, Mr. Jenkins, was a native of Wales and made his way to Cache Valley in 1860, where he worked in the Logan Temple for many years. He also worked for the Utah Northern and Union Pacific railroads. Mrs. Jenkins, a native of Switzerland, made her way to Logan in 1897. They married in 1899. The home retains its historic integrity and contributes to the character of Logan’s Center Street Historic District.
