Bassett: William. H. Bassett and Marrette Cook home

This picture was taken around 1960. The house was built in at least three sections. The right hand side is log (abt 10" diameter) with willow lath and plaster on the inside and drop siding on the outside. The left hand side is two story frame. The back part is one story frame. The parts were undoubtedly built at separate times, but there is no written or verbal history except birth of children to signify when. The first child born there was Sophronia (1887) followed by Roscoe (1891) and Adelia (1894). 1887 was when the the Bassett Stage Line (see history) was operating and WH and CHII Bassett moved their winter horse range from Cedar Fort, Utah to Lago (Trout Creek), Idaho. Hence the log part was probably built then, the back part being added later and the two story frame being completed around 1900. The drop siding on the log part was probably added when the frame sections were built. There are verbal stories of Indians looking through the windows during the early years. Roscoe Bassett and his wife, Inez, lived in the back part for a few years then moved to Ogden, Utah. Then Alfred Hansen and family lived in the back part until WH and Met's death when they occupied the entire house. It became unoccupied in the 1960's and burned down. See Lago (Trout Creek) and W. H. Bassett histories.
