John Watkins (architect)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Watkins–Coleman House, completed in 1869 in Midway, Utah, was designed by John Watkins and was his principal place of residence before being sold to the Coleman family. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.

John Watkins (April 13, 1834 – December 23, 1902[1]) was a practical architect and builder in London and Utah.[2][3]

He was born in Maidstone, Kent, England. While living in London, he converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1852, and four years later he and his family emigrated to Salt Lake City, settling in Provo, Utah. While in Provo, Watkins worked on the Old Provo Tabernacle. In 1865, after marrying twice more, he moved to Midway, Utah, where he designed some of his best-known works. He also served for 17 years as an LDS Bishop until his death Christmas of 1902.[2]

A number of his works are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.

Watkins designed some LDS meetinghouses in Provo and Springville.[4]
