Knight-Mangum House, Colonial Revival residence in Provo, United States.
Description
The Knight-Mangum House is a Colonial Revival residence in Provo featuring clinker brick on the first floor and wood frame with stucco finish above. It showcases steep gables and casement windows that define its architectural style.
History
The house was built in 1908 for W. Lester Mangum and his wife Jennie Knight Mangum as part of a group of Victorian-era homes in Provo's historic district. Its construction coincided with a period of significant economic growth in the region.
Culture
The house reflects the wealth the Mangum family gained through mining investments in the region. This connection to the mining industry shaped the local economy and made such elaborate construction possible in the early 1900s.
Practical
The house can be viewed from the exterior and is located in a quiet residential neighborhood that is easy to explore on foot. Visitors should note that it is a private residence, so interior tours may not be available.
Did you know?
The building was later converted into eleven apartments before eventually being restored as a single-family home. This adaptive reuse demonstrates how such mansions adapted to changing needs over time.
