Crockett House
The Crockett House is a Gothic Revival residence with eclectic architectural elements built in 1887 on Crockett Avenue in Logan, Utah. The structure features a steeply pitched roof with multiple dormers, hand-carved gables, a spacious front porch, and tall windows that blend design influences from the Gothic period with other 19th-century styles.
The house was built in 1887 by Alvin D. Crockett, Logan's first mayor, and later his son John A. Crockett also served as mayor, keeping the family involved in the city's leadership. The structure was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2009, recognizing its importance to local and national architectural history.
The house is named after Logan's first mayor and reflects how prominent local families shaped the community through their homes and civic roles. The ornate woodwork and large windows visible throughout show how wealthy residents of that era expressed their status and values through architectural choices.
The house is located on Crockett Avenue and can be viewed from the street, allowing visitors to observe its architectural details from outside. The neighborhood offers access to other historic sites and nearby attractions, making it convenient to explore the older sections of Logan on foot.
The house was later purchased by university professor Bruce Bugbee, who undertook extensive repairs and improvements to keep it in good condition. His restoration efforts preserved the original features like windows and decorative woodwork, helping to protect the building for future generations.
