1. Robert and Sarah Stoney House Marker

Inscription. This house was built circa 1883 for Robert and Sarah Stoney. The Stoneys were natives of England, immigrated to the United States in 1860, and made their way to Beaver in 1880. Robert worked as a silversmith, helped start the First Brass Band in Beaver, was a choir leader, an actor, and is honored by being placed on the Beaver, Utah, Pioneer Honor Roll. The home was designed by Thomas Frazer, a prominent local vernacular architect. The 1½ story home was built with pink rock tuff, a popular building material in Beaver. Prominent features of the home that are common to Frazer's work include its center gable, dormer windows, and Greek Revival style cornice. This house was so successful that Frazer utilized the design and materials in future work. The pink rock was stuccoed over circa 1970.
