Inscription. This black rock building was purchased from I. E. Wax in 1931 for the sum of $350 to house the offices of the Fremont Irrigation Company. The minutes of a meeting, held February 7, 1931, recorded this transaction. Until the building was sold to the Fremont Irrigation Company, it was used by the Loa Co-op store and Mr. Wax.

It is believed that the building was constructed about 1912 by Henry Albrecht, a prominent rock mason during the settlement of the Fremont River Valley.

Erected by Daughters of Utah Pioneers.
