Cache County Relic Hall
Erected in 1861 by Hezekiah Thatcher, assisted by Robert Murdock, Robert Crookston, and John Hill, who quarried the building stones in Green Canyon and placed them in these walls. Hand made shingles covered the roof. The building was originally used as a barn. The lower portion as livestock stable, and the upper portion as a hay loft, and carriage room. It was later used as one of the school buildings of the Brigham Young College. In 1926 when the B.Y.U. closed, the Church leased it to Cache County Company, Daughters of Utah Pioneers. It was dedicated for their use on June 16, 1927.
Jacob, I am doing research for a SLC architect who is writing a book on early Utah architect-builders and one building for which he asked me to find an image is the Cache County Relic Hall. Your coordinates of the historical marker (which appears to have been moved somewhere unknown) ended up being very helpful. This architect concurs with me that the historical image I found of a stone house on the Brigham Young College grounds is the building leased to the DUP. If you are interested in my research and images, please email me at ndotgw @ gmail (dot) com. Your website is great! Elisabeth
