Inscription. This house was built in 1890 for John R. and Bartha Blanchard. In 1903, this building was converted into the first hospital in the Cache Valley with a capacity of seven beds in four rooms. In 1916, it was sold to the Presbyterian Church and used as a boarding house for the female students of the church’s New Jersey Academy.

Characteristic features of this Victorian eclectic style home include the irregular plan, asymmetrical façade, and varied silhouettes resulting from dormers, gables, and towers. The carved, lathe-turned, and scroll cut woodwork, segmental window openings, bay windows, and decorative porch add to its architectural character.

Erected 1995 by National Register of Historic Places.
