Amanda Conk Best House

Built in 1896, this two-story Queen Anne and Victorian Eclectic style house was constructed for Amanda James Conk Best, a polygamous wife of Alfred Best, an early pioneer farmer and merchant. Architecturally significant, the house is unusually large and elaborate for its setting and time period; character-defining features include its prominent tower, asymmetrical floor plan, bay windows, detailed stone and brick work, and decorative shingles. This house has a twin, known as the Historic Barlow House, built by the same builder, located at 187 A Street in the Avenues.

Located at 3622 South 1100 East in Salt Lake City, Utah and added to the National Register of Historic Places (#08001154) on December 4, 2008.
