The Richards House, at 386 N. 100 East in Farmington, Utah, was built in the early 1860s.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.[1]

It was built as a one-story, three-room stone house, with a T-shaped plan. It was built of multicolored local igneous stone, put together in a random rubble pattern. It has a plain cornice and frieze, and has simple lintels and sills, all made of plain wood.[2]

It was built by Franklin D. Richards for his plural wife Rhoda H. Foss Richards, who lived in the home until her death in 1881.[2]
