Dallas H. Young House

The original owners of the house appear to have been Latinus O. and Rachel B. Taft. Mr. Taft was a prominent businessman who moved to Provo in 1896 as the local ZCMI manager. He formed the Utah Wholesale Grocery Company and the L.O. Taft Brokerage Company. From 1941 to the present, the home has been owned by members of the Dallas H. Young family. Mr. Young was a 4th District Court Judge, Provo City Attorney, Provo City Judge, President of the Utah County Bar Association and Chairman of the Utah County Democratic Party. A current owner and resident of the home is a granddaughter of Mr. Young. This building is an outstanding and distinctive example of the Arts and Crafts Bungalow style, typified by the deep, bracketed eaves, exposed rafter tails, single, broad, low gables, brick wainscoting, and small paned windows.
