John R. Twelves House
John R. Twelves House, Historic residence in Provo, United States
The John R. Twelves House exhibits Romanesque Revival architecture with ornate details and displays Victorian-era construction methods through its structural elements.
Built in 1906 for mining executive John R. Twelves, the house later became the residence of George H. Brimhall, president of Brigham Young University.
The residence represents the architectural preferences of successful entrepreneurs during Utah's transition from an agricultural to industrial economy in the early 1900s.
The property maintains its original structural features while currently functioning as the headquarters of Main Street Movie Company for film production activities.
A 9-foot marble sculpture of Jesus stands on the property, which appeared in the independent film production 'Falling' by filmmaker Richard Dutcher.
