History

Albert Clarence Fisher was born Feb 8, 1873 in Richmond to William Fredrick and Harriet Ann Hogan Fisher. Albert married Emma Harris on Dec 19, 1900 in Logan, Utah, and had four children. Little is known about their time together, also when the barn and early home was constructed, but estimates say between 1925-1952. The home was built in 1945.

Albert died in 1933 from an automobile. "Neldon W. and Lucy H. Spachman were involved with Fisher [family] ... in legal actions concerning title to the land." In 1989, William Neldon and Lucy Hadley Spackman acquired the property. After William's death in 1991 and Lucy's in 2004, the property was passed to the current owners.

Barn

Between 2007-2010 the barn was restored and is today known for its vibrant red. It is visible on Highway 91 as is a beautiful landmark for new visitors of Richmond.
