Thomas Austin Home Historical Marker Unveiling

The public is invited to the Thomas Austin Home Historical Marker Unveiling on Oct. 2, at 6 p.m. at 427 E. 500 North. Owners Wes and Geraldine Dalley will unveil the marker along with their family. The home is a fine example of Victorian architecture in Utah. Thomas Austin, a successful Lehi sheep and cattle rancher, built the home in 1901 for $4,000.

In 1982, the home was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. It’s nomination form notes, “… At a time when eclecticism and irregularity in house design was at a premium, the Austin House projects an asymmetry of massing and mixing of historical details which is truly exceptional.”

The marker will be the 14th of 36 historical markers to be installed over the next three years through the Lehi Historical Marker Program.

The program was founded in 2022 when the Lehi Historical Society won funding through a generous donation and continued support from the John David and Danaca Hadfield family of HADCO Construction and a large Lehi City PARC grant.
