The Deseret Telegraph and Post Office building is one of the oldest buildings in Rockville, Utah. It was built in 1864 by Edward Huber. A small wood frame office addition housed a telegraph office and a post office. The main structure is a two-story red sandstone building with a low second floor. The office is a lean-to addition on the right side of the main building.[2] A similar lean-to on the other side, now missing, matched the office, and there is a two-story gabled frame addition to the rear. There are two rooms in the main block downstairs, and one upstairs.[3]
The Deseret Telegraph and Post Office was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 23, 1972.[1] The house has been restored.[4]
