Thomas Leavitt House, Historic residence at First West Street in Bunkerville, Nevada.
The Thomas Leavitt House is a two-story brick building with several exterior doors and large wooden porches framing its walls. The grounds include an original stone granary and small outbuildings that remain intact today.
The building was constructed in 1895 by Thomas Dudley Leavitt during the early growth of Bunkerville. It gained recognition on the National Register of Historic Places for its architectural importance to the region.
The house shows a design typical of Mormon settlements, with its T-shaped form and multiple doors that allowed extended family groups to live together under one roof. This layout is still visible today and reflects how families shared the space.
The house sits on First West Street in Bunkerville and is accessible from the local street network. The outbuildings on the grounds can be viewed from outside.
The property once housed two families and a total of 22 children, showing how large family groups lived together in this era. Honey locust trees that still grow on the grounds are original plantings from that time and shape the landscape today.
