The Billings-Hougaard House, at 75 E. 300 North, off U.S. Route 89 in Manti, Utah, was built around 1855. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
It is a one-and-a-half-story folk/vernacular hall and parlor plan house, about 30 by 18 feet (9.1 m × 5.5 m) in plan. It has a rear T-extension. The house is built of high quality adobe bricks laid in common bond. It has Greek Revival style characteristics, in its proportions, its shallow pitch of roof, its half-height upper windows, and its cornice returns at gable ends.[2]
It was deemed significant as "significant as an excellent example of Utah folk/vernacular design and because it is one of the best surviving unsheathed adobe homes in the state."[2]
It was built by Alfred Billings and was bought in 1863 by Rasmus Hougaard (1806-1875), a wealthy arriving immigrant farmer from Virkel, Falster, Denmark.[2]
It is located on the northwest corner of E. 300 North and N. 100 East.
