Packer Family House

This charming house includes plaster and lath construction with a brick fireplace, chimney, and exterior veneer. A French mansard roof covers the upper story that has three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

The ground floor has a dining room, kitchen, scullery, and family room. The basement is finished and currently serves as a separate one bedroom apartment with a separate entrance.

The home was built by the Packer family in 1923, Mr. Packer being the Superintendent of Utah Power and Light in the area—a company formed in 1912 that consolidated the numerous small Utah companies that distributed the new power source. Mrs. Packer planted the rose bushes on the north fence that still bloom ebulliently every spring. Leroy Robinson, a notable BYU music professor and composer of several hymns in the LDS hymn book lived with his family in the house in earlier years. The house was purchased by the Clarks in 1957 shortly after their marriage. They raised their family here, and the home was sold to its present owners, the Du Toits, in 1996.
