(Kanab’s oldest standing log cabin)
93 North 200 West
Late in the year 1870, Nathan and Mary Melinda Plunkett
Adams moved to Kanab in the first year Kanab was resettled.. In the year 1880 they purchased this
lot. The cabin was built by Alfred Douglas Young, with the trees being
harvested and the spaces between the logs being filled with clay and
straw.
While their larger house was being built they lived in this
log cabin and a wagon.
The Adams built this one-story brick, hall and parlor house
with a rear T-extension in three phases.
There is a cellar under the house and the soil taken from the cellar was
used to make the brick.
Nathan was a prominent figure in the early days, assisting
Major John Wesley Powell on the Powell Survey and also helping Jacob Hamblin on
his peace keeping missions to the Indians. Present owner is Karen Weiss.
