The Cox-Shoemaker-Parry House is a historic two-story house in Manti, Utah. It was built in 1858 by Orville Sutherland Cox, who converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Illinois, where he was baptized by Joseph Smith in 1839. [2] Cox later served as the bishop of Bountiful, Utah, and he settled in Sanpete County in 1849. [2] He became a counselor to Bishop John Lowery, Sr., in Manti, and he lived in this house with his three wives: Elvira Mills, Mary Allen, and Eliza J. Losee. [2]
The house, designed by Cox, is constructed of coursed ashlar cream-colored limestone. It has a plain entablature, and, on the west front of the house it has pedimented returns, which are suggestive of Greek Revival Style. [2]
The house was later purchased by Jezreel Shoemaker, a convert to the LDS Church who served as the mayor of Manti. [2] It was later acquired by Edward L. Parry, a stonemason and immigrant from Wales who converted to the LDS Church and helped build the Salt Lake Temple, the St. George Tabernacle, and the Manti Utah Temple. [2] Parry remodeled and expanded the house around 1880. The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since August 4, 1982. [1]
The house displayed a Maple Leaf flag along with a U.S. one, in September 2012. [3]
