The Ralfph & Dilla B. VanNoy Farmstead is a historic dairy farm located in Richmond with a home, barn, and granary. The house was constructed in 1936, and the barn and grainery were built after.
Before the current farm was constructed, the Alexander Harris pioneer home was on the lot. Ralph Lewis VanNoy purchased the farm in 1923.1 He demolished the small pioneer home and built this home for his large growing family in 1936. A little mother-in-law home was constructed just west of the house for Ralph's mother, Harriet Adelaide Lewis. Ralph constructed the barn, shed, and granary on the property.
Ralph married Mary Ann Gibbs on Oct 4, 1911 in Salt Lake City, Utah. They had six children before Mary's sudden death in 1924. On Dec 2, 1936, Ralph remarried to Della Ophelia Biggs. Children from both marriages likely lived in the home.
After Ralph died on Oct 22, 1950, it is not clear who owned the home. By 1970, Lorin Asa Hendricks and Annie Brighton Timmins owned the property.2 After their deaths in 1977 and 1991, the home was passed to their daughter, Veryl Hendricks, and her husband, Joseph Val Ray Roberts. She sold the home in 2012 to V&V Properties LLC, which sold it in 2015 to the current homeowners.
