George Angus and Martha Ansil Beebe House, Historic house in Provo, Utah
The George Angus and Martha Ansil Beebe House stands as a 1903 Queen Anne style residence featuring a distinctive square turret with bell-cast roof, bracketed cornices, and symmetrical facades on its corner lot.
Constructed in 1903 by George Angus Beebe, a bookkeeper at Provo Roller Mills who later established the Beebe Lumber Company, this house represents the aspirations of second-generation Provo residents seeking fashionable residences.
The house exemplifies the influence of national architectural trends like Queen Anne style on Utah's regional building practices, reflecting the social status and aesthetic preferences of prosperous merchant families in early 20th-century Provo.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 31, 1980, and designated a Provo Historic Landmark on March 7, 1996, the house is located at 489 West 100 South and occupies less than one acre.
The two street facades are near mirror images of each other from the corner of the porch to the gabled projection, a symmetry that helps form a symmetrical corner lot. George Angus Beebe was born on February 29, 1872, in Polk City, Iowa, and died on March 15, 1944, at age 72.
