Charles E. Davies House * 388 West 300 North * Provo, Utah
The Charles Davies House was built about 1885. “The house, a double-gable H-plan type, is the only example of the H-plan in Provo and its distinctive Victorian bay windows make it one of the best examples of such houses in the state (Historic Provo p. 8).” The Charles E. Davies House was designated to the Provo City Historic Landmarks Registry on March 7, 1996.
History of House Ownership
David L. Van Wagenen purchased the home in 1907 from Charles E. Davies, and continued to live there until 1922 even after he sold it in 1912. The house then passed to Eliza Smith Stewart, and then to Thomas Callister in the year 1918. In 1920 the title passed to Georgianna Parry in 1920, who sold the house three years later to Clyde Bunnell. The Bunnells retained the home until 1929 when the property was attained by Ray Barrett. Madeline Hales purchased the house in 1945, and the very same year sold it to Arthur S. Roberts. The title went to Clark S. Nelson in the Year 1950, where it remained until it was sold to Dr. Orlo Allen in 1956. Allen sold the home to Howard L. Jensen in 1960, who sold it to Louis B. Jones later that year.
