Canute Peterson House

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Canute Peterson house is located in Ephraim, Utah. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was built in the 1800s by Canute Peterson, an early Latter-day Saint leader in Sanpete County.

Richard Nibley, brother of Mormon scholar Hugh Nibley, purchased and restored the home in the 1960s. It sits next door to the historic Bank of Ephraim building. After many years of trying to acquire and tear down the home to make way for a drive-up window, the Bank of Ephraim failed in 2004 and was taken over by Far West Bank.
