William Derby Johnson, Jr., House

The William Derby Johnson, Jr., House is a historic house in Kanab, Utah. It was built in 1884-1885 for William Derby Johnson, Jr., a veteran of the Black Hawk War of 1865-1872 and a Mormon settler.[2] Johnson had four wives: Lucy Annie Salisbury, Lucy Elizabeth Brown, Charlesetta Prescott Cram, and Mary Agnes Riggs.[2] The house was designed in the Italianate architectural style.[2] It was acquired in 1886 by George Conrad Naegle, who lived here with his two wives, Sabra Higbee Naegle and Anna Fauth.[2] Three years later, it was acquired by Alfred D. Young, who lived here with his wife Ana Little and their thirteen children.[2] By 1900, the house had been remodelled as a hotel, and it was the first hotel in Kanab.[2] The property has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since April 6, 2001.[1]
