Build South and West

In 1854 Brigham Young, standing on this corner, said, “Build south and west.” It was the fourth location for the settlement of Cedar City, the others being the cove north of town, across the road and to the west of the cove, and the old fort.

Isaac C. Haight, the Iron Works manager, acquired this lot on which Elias Morris built him the first fire-brick and cement mortar home in the Utah Territory. Many prominent people were entertained within its walls.

Ambrose P. Merrill House
ca. 1940s

Described as a particularly handsome and unusual bungalow, this house was constructed by Ambrose P. Merrill in 1912. Merrill served as General Manager of the Knight Consolidated Power Company and later became a division manager of Utah Power and Light. From 1919 to 1925, Isaac Jacob, a Director of the Utah Wool Grower’s Association, owned the home. William Hornibrook, who served as U.S. Ambassador to Siam, Iran, and Costa Rica during the Woodrow Wilson administration, purchased the home from Jacob. Hornibrook owned the Provo Herald and other newspapers. Edwin Firmage, who founded Firmage’s Department store in downtown Provo, also is a past owner of this house.
