Built about 1892 by Roswell Darius Bird Sr., this two-story brick residence is a well-preserved local example of Victorian influences on owner-built dwellings in Utah. Roswell Darius Bird, Sr. was born in Springville to Richard Bird, son of Benjamin F. Bird, who crossed the plains to Utah from Nauvoo in the fall of 1850. He built the house on land exempted under the Homestead Act by his father, one of the first settlers in this area.
