History

The land that the S. Milton and Alba C. Webb House resides on was owned by multiple people. Starting in 1901, Lafayette Hendricks, Ralph Hendricks, Mary E. Speirs. Mary then sold the property to Milton and Alba Webb in 1936. 

Samuel Milton Webb was born in Richmond to Joseph Webb and Cora Jane Hendricks. He was part of the first graduating class of North Cache High School in 1917, then attended and graduated from Utah State Agricultural College. In 1929, Milton married Alba Corbett, the daughter of Frank L. Corbett and Annie E. Nyman from North Logan.

As mentioned, Milton and Alba purchased the land that they would build their home from Mary E. Speirs in 1936, and built the home that same year. The home has a stark contrast to its exterior than most homes in Richmond, which makes it a valuable architectural piece to the city. After Alba's and Milton's deaths in 1985 and 1997, the home was deeded to their son Don and wife Jodi. Later that year, they sold the home to its current residences who keep and maintain the home.

The S. Milton and Alba C. Webb House was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004 for its "events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history" and "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 significate and distinguishable entity whose components lack individual distinction."
