Peter Wentz House

The Peter Wentz House is a two-story salt-box building resting on a cobblestone foundation with a symmetrical front wall. It features wooden window frames, two working fireplaces, and a stone cellar beneath.

The house was built in 1866 during Utah's early settlement period and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Its construction reflects the beginnings of European settlement in the region.

Het huis toont architectonische kenmerken van Amerikaanse oosterse tradities, met klassieke details en inrichtingen die laten zien hoe vroege kolonisten hun bouwstijlen meebrachten.

The building stands across from the Provo City Library and is easy to locate. Visitors should know that the interior has historic features and may have limited accessibility in some areas.

Peter Wentz, the man who built this house, served as a city council member, justice of the peace, and the first bishop of his local ward. His leadership roles shaped the community that grew around this place.
