The Jesse N. Smith House, located in Parowan, Utah, is a two-story home that was constructed from June 1856 to March 1858. Jesse N. Smith was asked by church leadership to assist in the settling of Parowan in 1851,[2] where he constructed and lived in the house. The house is constructed from quarried rock, baked adobe, and hewed timber. Originally consisting of four rooms - two upstairs and two downstairs - an addition was later added to the rear of the house that consisted of four additional rooms. It is the oldest adobe structure in the state of Utah.[3]
The house was sold to William Bentley in 1879. The building remained unoccupied for a number of years until it was purchased by the Jesse N. Smith Family Association in 1962.[5] Restoration of the home took place between 1967 and 1969. In 2017, the renovated house exists as a museum for visitors, showcasing the history of Jesse N. Smith and his wives.
