In 1893 Ephraim H. Roberts, a war veteran, built a pottery here. He and his sons made churns, jars, jugs, and flower pots, which were exchanged for produce. Five hundred samples of clay were tried before a suitable one was found. Lead for glazing was dug from a clay bank on the rifle range at Fort Duchesne. Later the building was used for an amusement center, known as Old Roberts Hall. In 1920 it was moved to Davis Ward where it served as a church and recreation hall. It was razed in 1936.
