Old Farmington Hotel

This picture is of a house that I drive past every day on my way to work. I LOVE this house and especially the history that is behind it. This house is one of the old historical houses that is located in Farmington, UT. It used to be called the Union Hotel and was built in 1857. It was built from adobe bricks by Hector B. Haight, the original founder of Farmington. It is now covered with wood siding. The upstairs bedrooms in the front of the house used to be a two-room suite and was often occupied by Brigham Young as he traveled throughout the area. Every time I drive past this house I imagine what it must have been like for Brigham Young to stay here.
