John R. Twelves House, Historic residence in Provo, United States

The John R. Twelves House is an early 1900s residence with Romanesque Revival styling and ornate details across its facade. The building demonstrates Victorian-era construction techniques through its structural elements and spatial layout.

The house was built in 1906 for mining executive John R. Twelves and later became home to George H. Brimhall, president of Brigham Young University. The property shifted between industrial leaders and academic heads in Utah's developing society.

The house shows the tastes of successful business owners living in Utah as the region shifted its economy from farming to industry. The rooms display how wealthy families lived and decorated their homes in the early 1900s.

The house currently serves as headquarters for Main Street Movie Company and operates as a film production studio. Visitors should know the site remains an active production facility, so access may vary depending on ongoing projects.

Since 2005 the house has been the base of Richard Dutcher's Main Street Movie Company, a production and distribution firm. The 9-foot marble sculpture of Jesus on the front lawn is a prop from Dutcher's film Falling, placed where passers-by on 100 North can see it.
