We would appreciate your sharing this link with your readership. We're always on the hunt for potential new districts to add to the National Register of Historic Places, and you can find our "wish list" at the bottom of the webpage. We can't do this work without the support from you and the community, and we're so appreciative of the work represented by Tour of Utah's NRHP Districts.

Spring City Historic District (Sanpete County): Listed 1980
Perhaps one of the best-preserved rural agricultural towns in the pattern espoused by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints settlement period, Spring City contains over 350 contributing historic buildings and structures. A 1900-1914 stone LDS Meetinghouse dominates the downtown of the community, with the majority of contributing buildings being residential homes radiating out from downtown. The majority of homes can be considered vernacular in style, date to the 1865-1900 period, and range from one-room log cabins to two-story hall and parlor houses. As is common for many settlements in Sanpete County, adobe brick and stone are the primary building materials of these homes.
