William Allen, Architect of Davis County

In association with the April Architectural Adventures hosted by the museums of Davis County, this exhibit features some of the original architectural drawings of William Allen. During the month of April 2023, visit any of the Davis County museums to pick up a scavenger hunt and learn about this interesting and influential architect. Also, at each participating museum, visitors can pick up a button and lanyard. There are several different designs, so visit each of the Davis County Museums to collect all six. Many of his buildings are still standing and are in use today. On display with the original architectural plans is one of William Allen's water color paintings. This painting is of a church designed for Centerville. Interestingly, William Allen did not get the final bid for the project, and the church was built by someone else. There are also bricks from the Kaysville Elementary and from Davis High School. Come and learn about William Allen.
