Jacob Hamblin House, Historic residence in Santa Clara, US.

The Jacob Hamblin House is a two-story sandstone building in Santa Clara with porches on both levels and separate rooms designed to house multiple families during the 1860s settlement period. The layout reflects the practical need to accommodate different households under one roof.

Jacob Hamblin founded Santa Clara in 1854. After an 1862 flood destroyed the settlement, missionaries built this house for his family in 1863, quarrying sandstone from nearby hills and hiring stone masons from Cedar City. The LDS Church acquired it in 1974 and reopened it as a historic site in 1975.

The house is operated by the LDS Church, whose missionaries give free guided tours. Jacob Hamblin took several plural wives from 1857; the house has identical rooms at each end, each with its own fireplace and staircase, to accommodate two wives. Hamblin's wife Rachel died in 1865, and he later married Louisa Bonelli, a convert from Switzerland.

The house is located on Hamblin Drive and offers guided tours where visitors can explore the living spaces of early settlers. The tour lasts about 30 minutes and provides direct insight into daily life during that period.

The house has identical rooms at opposite ends, each with its own fireplace and staircase, built to house Hamblin's two wives. Hamblin's first wife Rachel Judd died in 1865; he then married Louisa Bonelli, a convert from Switzerland. In 1871 he was called to the Kanab region and leased the house to a Mr. Bauman.
