Isaac Sutton House

Built in 1904, the home was deeded in 1917 by Emma to her grandson, Raymond Sutton. The home has remained in the family ever since. Isaac and Emma were early Mormon pioneers. Having been converted in England in 1852, they immigrated to Utah. Brigham Young then sent them to help settle Provo. The home is rife with Victorian details such as the segmental arched openings, rusticated brick heads, corbeled chimneys, and a small gablet with eyebrow window. It also displays some prairie-style elements—the low pitched hip roof, wide overhanging eaves, stylized transoms and the heavy square columns on the front porch. It is a wonderful example of a home caught between two styles of architecture: Victorian, which was losing popularity at the time of construction, and prairie style, which was gaining popularity.
