It is located on a corner lot in the gridded section of Centerville. There is a fully landscaped yard with mature trees and a picket fence around the perimeter of the yard. A c.1920s frame building, used for storage, is also located on the property. The house retains its original feature and contributes to the historic qualities of Centerville. The crosswing type house has a wood shingle roof with a simply-detailed soffit and fascia throughout. The walls are constructed of local stone and there is stone chimney on the south face of the south wing roof. A shed roof porch extends along the west elevation and is supported by four unadorned wood columns on a raised concrete slab. The original house was built in two phases. The north-facing hall-parlor section was begun in 1880. The west-facing rear ell was constructed shortly thereafter and finished c.1883.1 The north hall-parlor block consists of two rooms with a front entrance door in the center and six-over-six double hung wood windows symmetrically placed on either side, and sandstone quoins. A second entrance to the home is located on the west elevation of this section, which has replaced the north entrance door as the primary access to the home. The windows on this elevation are six-over-six wood double-hung, with interior aluminum storm panels, and the quoins are made of granite. The addition to the south elevation is an attached garage/storage area with wood walls and a flat roof. It is estimated that this addition was constructed in the 1930s. The garage door opening has been filled in and replaced with a single entrance door. The addition on the east elevation was constructed in 1988-89 using stone similar to the historic material, but in a random rubble pattern, rather than the coursed rubble of the original house. The mortar on the addition is recessed while that on the original section is flush. To the south and east of the house is a small frame shed (12 feet by 24 feet) with a partial hipped and partial gable roof of wood shingles, and wood drop siding. There are windows on the north and south elevations which are boarded over and a new door on the north elevation. Its construction date is unknown but the building appears to date from the 1920s-30s. __ See continuation sheet In 1901 the house was transferred to Cecilia Ann Dibble Roberts and she raised eight children there. She probably built the addition to house her family. Roberts. B.H.. Louisa Smith and Cecilia Dibble. House Centerville. Davis County. Utah Name of Property City, County, and State 8.
