James W. And Harriet Johnson Swapp Home


250 North 100 West Street

James W. Swapp ordered this two-story frame Victorian eclectic crosswing house from Sears & Roebuck in 1912.  It included three bedrooms, a living room, dining room, kitchen and pantry, as well as paint, flooring, shingles and a china closet for $644.00.  The precut, numbered house sections were shipped from Chicago, Illinois to Marysvale, Utah by rail, then brought to Kanab by team and wagon via Johnson Canyon.  It was the assembled on the lot in Kanab. Von and Nileen Swapp Whitlock remodeled this house for a bed and breakfast. The present owners are Wendy and Craig Rogers.
