About this spacer
Although weathered and rustic on the outside the granary is very modern, warm and charming on the inside.
The Granary is located on a quiet residential street with a spectacular mountain view. We are 4 blocks east of main street in a quiet residential neighborhood .
This is an extremely laid back agricultural community with very little hustle and bustle.
The historic Manti Temple is about 8 blocks from the Granary.>
The space
According to a local historian “the Granary” has an interesting history. It was originally built in the very early days of Manti as the grain storage facility for the water-powered, overshot grist mill (flour mill) that was located on Manti Creek, just east of where the bank now stands. When the old mill was replaced by a larger mill with internal grain storage the granary was no longer needed. It was purchased and placed on large pine log skids and dragged to its present location by several teams of horses, well over 100 years ago. It was used for grain and coal storage as well as a place for storage of miscellaneous equipment such as harnesses, saddles and other items. The Granary is much larger than the standard size external stud granaries that were built around town and there are several still standing.
That first water powered mill has been reconstructed at This Is the Place State Park, just north of This Is the Place Monument in Salt Lake City.
When an unusual phenomenon occurred for this part of the country, a tornado, took a large portion of the roof off a few years ago, it was rebuilt with new sheeting and shingles. About the same time the old pine log skids underneath began to deteriorate and it developed a list to the east. We decided to save, preserve and modernize the old building. It was jacked up and a concrete footing plus the floor was installed beneath it. It was remodeled to its present condition, two bedrooms the bathroom and loft. Porches were added to the east and the south. Although a replica, the Jackson hay fork hanging on the south porch is a significant part of the history of the property.
