Oscar M. Booth House

Constructed in 1893 by Oscar M. Booth, this house is an excellent example of the Queen Anne architectural style in Utah. Its identifying features include a side-hall plan, asymmetrical massing, a long wrap-around porch, and an octagonal tower with a conical roof. Booth was a local carpenter and builder best known in the Nephi area for designing the Whitmore Mansion, which is listed on the National Register. In addition to his work in Nephi, he reportedly also worked in the Avenues in Salt Lake City during the 1890s. Born in Utah in 1868, he continued his building activities, primarily in Juab County, until his death in 1944. He and his wife Rose owned this home until 1897, when it was sold to another local resident of Nephi. The home retains its historic integrity and is a contributing resource within the city of Nephi.
