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.
