Lafayette & Elizabeth W. Hendricks Home

LaFayette Hendricks was born Sep 12, 1883 to Samuel Allen Hendricks and Eliza Abigail Hendricks. Before Samuels' marriage, he purchased some land and later deeded it to his sons LaFayette and Ralph. The sons built a home between 1904 to 1906. After Ralph died in 1913 while serving an LDS mission, the house was deeded to LaFayette. LaFayette married Elizabeth E. Webb, daughter of Eli and Helena Ashment Webb, on September 18, 1907. They raised five children in the home.

LaFayette attended Utah State Agricultural College (Utah State University) and Brigham Young Colledge in Logan. For work, LaFayette was a bookkeeper and office manager for the Sego Milk Products Co. for almost 40 years. LaFayette also worked in civic duties as president of the Lions Club (1933-34) and Richmond City Recorder (1940-46). After LaFayette's death in 1968, the home was deeded to the Hendricks children who later sold the home to Roland Anderson in 1973. Between 1973 and 1974, the home was purchased by the current homeowners.

In 2004, the LaFayette and Elizabeth W. Hendricks home was listed in the National Registry of Historic Places for its "events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history," and the "property embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction or represents the work of a master, or possesses high artistic values, or represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components lack individual distinction." Areas of significance are community planning and development, social history, and architecture.
