History
The main building was built in 1892 for Justin Merrill Johnson, the son of Mormon settlers, who lived here with his wife Emma and their five daughters. Johnson built a barn, and a bungalow was built by Gideon Wilson Findlay, who was married to Mandana Farnsworth, a niece of the Johnsons, and lived here with their six daughters. In 1928, the main house was purchased by three brothers from Salt Lake City; Chauncey, Gronway, and Whit Parry, and more buildings were erected on the property in 1930 and 1931 as it was turned into a motel-restaurant complex. The buildings were designed in the American Craftsman and Victorian Eclectic styles. The complex has been listed on the NRHP since August 14, 2003.
