John E. Booth House, Historic Victorian mansion in Provo, United States.
The John E. Booth House is a residential building in Provo with two and a half stories and a facade of individually painted bricks that form different patterns. The structure maintains its original floor plan with an L-shaped layout and a T-shaped extension in the rear section.
The house was built in 1900, documenting an important decade for Provo's development as a city. Recognition as a historical landmark came later, with its addition to the National Register in 1982 and its registration as a Provo City Historic Landmark in 1995.
The house shows how wealthy Utah residents wanted to live around 1900, blending Victorian style elements with building techniques common in the region. This mixture reflects how homeowners of that era connected international fashion trends with local craft traditions.
The house sits in an established residential neighborhood of Provo and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors should know that it remains a private residence that can be viewed from the outside.
The facade displays an elaborate system where nearly every brick received its own color layer, which required unusually time-consuming work during construction. The red brick masonry at the basement level, however, remained unpainted and stands out distinctly from this meticulous pattern.
