Moses Thatcher, Jr. Home

Built 1892-1893 as a wedding gift from Apostle and Mrs. Moses Thatcher to son Moses Jr. and family. Occupied September 30th 1893. Builder and decorator, William Asper.

95 South 100 West in Logan, Utah

This two-story home is classic Victorian style. The house was built by Moses Thatcher in 1892 as a belated wedding present for his son, Moses Thatcher, Jr. The architect and builder was William Aspen. The Thatcher families were leaders in the community as merchants, bankers, and church leaders. Moses Thatcher, Jr., helped his father in the Thatcher Coal Company.

Some additions have been made to the house, but have not significantly altered the integrity of the building. The great variety in the planes and massing is the quintessential feature of the structure. Beautiful detailing in the gables is another handsome feature.*
