Begin with a summary paragraph that briefly describes the general characteristics of the property, such as its location, type, style, method of construction, setting, size, and significant features. Indicate whether the property has historic integrity.) _____________________________________________________________________________ Summary Paragraph The Cox Family Big House is a two-story stone residence, built between 1854 and 1861, and located at 98 N. 100 West in Manti, Utah. The house is an unusually large example of a double-pile floor plan with a central passage in the rear half. The house is built of oolite limestone laid in coursed rubble. Most of the modest Greek Revival and Late Victorian features have been retained. Despite a history of nearly one-hundred and fifty years, the house has seen only minor modifications. These include the addition and removal of historic porches, a twentieth-century side addition (later replaced by a carport), and the conversion from a polygamous household, to a single-family household, to a six-unit apartment building. The house was recently rehabilitated using state and federal historic preservation tax credits. During the rehabilitation, the non-historic porch was removed and replaced by a more compatible porch. The carport was removed and a new one-story side addition was built in the location occupied by a historic addition. Non-historic aluminum and vinyl windows were replaced with compatible wood windows. The house sits on a corner lot of 0.14 acres. The Cox House has good historic integrity in the qualities of location, setting, design, workmanship and materials. The overall feeling and association is intact as demonstrated by the fact that most of the locals still refer to the property as the “old polygamy” house, or by its nickname since the 1850s, the Big House. The Cox Family Big House is recognized as a landmark from the pioneer-era and makes a significant contribution to the historic resources of Manti. Section 7 page 4 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service / National Register of Historic Places Registration Form NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 Cox Family Big House Sanpete County, Utah Name of Property County and State ______________________________________________________________________________ Narrative Description Exterior The footprint of the Cox Family Big House is 40 feet by 32 feet with the wide ends facing west and east. The house has a raised basement on a stone foundation and has a large attic making it appear nearly three- stories tall. These grand proportions set the house apart from other 1850s to 1870s stone houses in Manti [Photographs 1-2].1 The foundation and walls are constructed of the same oolite limestone. The stone is laid in coursed rubble, but some sections of masonry appear more random than coursed with an attempt to lay ashlar blocks at the corners as quoins. The stone walls ranged from 30 inches thick in foundation to 18 inches thick in the upper walls. The lintels and sills and a water table course of long stones are the only dressed stonework. The stringcourse at the water table is along the west and north elevations only [Photograph 3]. As part of the rehabilitation, the stone was gently cleaned and the mortar was re-pointed as needed. The roof is a simple gable with a fairly low pitch due to the width of the building. The ridgeline is parallel to 100 West. The roof is covered with asphalt shingles. The house originally had four end chimneys, but these were removed and two interior chimneys installed during a circa 1910 remodeling. The south interior chimney was demolished and the corbelled top of the north chimney was removed circa 1994. There is an original beaded cornice under the eaves with Greek Revival-style cornice returns on the north and south elevations. A round window in the attic of the north elevation is one of the few decorative elements [Photographs 4-5]. The south gable features a small square window [Photograph 6]. Through the years, the façade (primary elevation) of the residence changed from the west to the east to the west elevation depending ownership and usage [Figures 1-3]. The stone stringcourse suggests that the west elevation was the intended façade as completed in 1861. There are no available photographs of the west elevation prior to the 1930s, but written descriptions of the house from its occupants in the 1860s suggest there was a porch on the west elevation, removed by the time the first Sanborn fire insurance map of Manti was prepared in 1892. The west elevation is divided into six bays [Figure 3]. On the main level, two doors are flanked by windows. On the upper level, each of the six bays has a window opening. In the late 1970s, the steps to the two doors were removed and a full-width concrete deck was installed on the west elevation, obscuring the three basement windows [Figure

Zeh, Ph.D., Dean, Graduate School December 2019 i Abstract B. H. Roberts presented information to the leadership of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in January of 1922 that fundamentally challenged the entire premise of their religious beliefs. New research shows that in addition to church leadership, this information was also presented during the neXt few months to a select group of highly educated Mormon men and women outside of church hierarchy. This group represented many aspects of Mormon belief, different areas of eXpertise, and varying approaches to dealing with challenging information. Their stories create a beautiful tapestry of Mormon life in the transition years from polygamy, frontier life, and resistance to statehood, assimilation, and respectability. A study of the people involved illuminates an important, overlooked, underappreciated, and eXciting period of Mormon history.

    Prospectus William Weeks and the Ephemeral Temple at Nauvoo Central to the early Mormon concept of the City of Zion was the temple. Confronting violent opposition in Ohio and Missouri, in 1839 the Mormons fled to their new Zion at Nauvoo, Illinois situated along a horseshoe bend on the eastern bank of the Mississippi River. In 1840, work on a new temple commenced which would define and establish the permanency of Mormonism. The primitive theology and ritual surrounding the first Mormon temple in Ohio, developed and evolved for the more grandiose temple planned at Nauvoo. However, as Joseph Smith introduced new and controversial doctrines violent opposition increased from both inside and outside the Church. The temple rituals adapted with the expanding doctrine and necessitated an increasingly complex architectural program both on the temple’s interior and exterior. The larger Nauvoo Temple, while generally following the established prototype at Kirtland, assumed new functions and forms not anticipated during its initial planning and construction. The thesis will reexamine William Weeks’s involvement as architect in the design and construction of the Nauvoo temple, in collaboration with Joseph Smith. In particular, as architect, William Weeks materialized a definitive moment in Mormonism’s evolving cultural identity by reshaping ritual space, establishing Mormon material identity and introducing mystery and complexity in the ephemeral Nauvoo temple (1841-1846). The Nauvoo temple became the iconic symbol of Mormonism’s revolutionary doctrinal teachings during the Nauvoo period.

Wood 155 A Man of Vision and Determination: A Photographic Essay and Tribute to Wilford C. Wood Kenneth R. Mays The following photographic essay and tribute were part of a media pre- sentation at a banquet held in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building on May 28, 2009, honoring the life and contributions of Wilford C. Wood. The event was sponsored by the LDS Church History Department and the Mormon His- toric Sites Foundation. The number of historic LDS Church history sites, documents, and arti- facts acquired by Wilford C. Wood during his lifetime is impressive. How- ever, perhaps his greatest legacy will be his purchase of some of the most well known early Mormon history sites owned by the Church today. Signifi- cantly, when Wilford C. Wood was born in 1893, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints did not hold title to a single site where a revelation in the Doctrine and Covenants was received or recorded. However, as a result of his years of vision and service, the Church eventually came to own the property or location where forty-eight sections of the Doctrine and Covenants were received. Some of the sites now owned by the Church include the Nauvoo Temple property, Liberty Jail, Adam-ondi-Ahman, the Joseph Smith and Isaac Hale properties in Harmony (now Oakland), Pennsylvania, the John Johnson home in Hiram, Ohio, the Newel K.

ISSN 1065-9366 (print), 2168-3158 (online) Abstract Almost every summer since 1935, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has staged a pageant at the Hill Cumorah. This article starts with the history of the pageant from its beginnings in the 1920s as a Cumorah Conference of the Eastern States Mission convened by mission president B. H. Roberts and held at the Smith Family Farm. Details about the pageant’s move to the Hill Cumorah as well as scripts, directors, music, costumes, props, set design, lighting, and cho- reography are included. The author concludes with the details of retiring the original script after 50 years of use and of the challenges of producing and revital- izing the new pageant while maintaining its purpose as a missionary tool.
