  Brief History
       This lovely home was built in the early l900's by Isaac and Mae Higbee, generous hardworking Utah pioneer people.  Many of the original details have been retained over the years. The Higbees had the pine doors, frames and floor boards grain painted to resemble maple, a common technique used on wood during the early pioneer days, a unique pocket door separating the dining room and sitting room is still functionable today.  Many of the light fixtures and a few of the windows are original to the home.  Transoms above the interior doors are functional and nostalgic. There is a large garden area at the rear of the home where the Higbees must have grown vegetables and fruit to share with family and friends.  As you've seen from exterior pictures of the home, it boasts of gingerbread trim, high pitched rooflines and beautiful symmetry. The home has been in ownership by many  people since the Higbees.  Karlene Paxman lived here and raised her three children for close to thirty years, eventually she converted it to a Bed and Breakfast in the late l980's and kept it open until her death in 2002.  The former guests tell us she is remembered for her hot homemade cinnamon rolls.  Karlene had the kitchen remodeled in the l970's and added bathrooms to each guest room a few years later. The integrity of the home has been maintained over the many years because  former people have had vested interest in history and historical sites.
