Knight-Mangum House

Residential Buildings

The Knight-Mangum House is a historic house in Provo, Utah, completed in 1908 for W. Lester Mangum and his wife Jennie Knight Mangum, daughter of the Utah mining magnate Jesse Knight. It is a two and a half story house in a Tudor and Arts and Crafts manner, with an asymmetrical plan, steep gables with exposed rafters, decorative stickwork on the upper floors, and a wrap-around porch. The first story and the boundary wall are clinker brick, while the upper stories are wood frame with stucco. The Alexandis Brothers were the contractors. After Mangum died in 1949 the house was divided into eleven apartments, and it is still used as apartments. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 with six other Provo houses, and the city designated it a landmark in 1995.
