Over 100 Years and Counting: A Homestead That Lasts 4100 South

A Resilient Landmark on 4100 South

The home at 406 West 4100 South is one of those quiet treasures that still tells a story of early life in the valley. The unpainted shiplap building, a sturdy rectangular structure roughly 18' x 30', has stood for more than 100 years. Resting on concrete blocks, it was likely moved to its present site decades ago, where it served as a bunkhouse for farm workers or family members.

Over the years, the property grew into a small homestead setting, complete with a barn, coops, sheds, and even a distinctive purple-brick outbuilding. Together, these structures formed the backbone of a working farmstead, reflecting the resourcefulness of those who once lived and labored here.

Though the old shiplap building once fell into disrepair, today it still stands proudly—an enduring reminder of the strength and character of West Valley City’s farming past. With its rustic charm and surrounding outbuildings, the property remains a link between the community’s agricultural roots and its thriving present.
