Mormon craftsmen built this handsome pioneer home in 1862 of local red sandstone and ponderosa timbers from Pine Valley. Brigham Young called Jacob Hamblin, one of the earliest settlers in Santa Clara, in 1854 to work with the Paiute Indians of southern Utah. Since his first home was destroyed by a flood, this is Jacob’s second home, and it is still decorated with many original artifacts.

The building, which is now the St. George Art Museum, was originally built in the 1930s to store beet seed for a sugar beet factory. This was the start of a business that would last for nearly fifty years.
The building was vacant after 1979 and became an eyesore. Through the vision, generosity, and hard work of the community, the ultimate dream to restore the building as part of the St. George’s historic district was realized in 1997 when it became the beautiful new home of the Art Museum.
St. George Art Museum
In the 1860s a group of settlers sent to establish the Washington and Santa Clara colonies desired a permanent chapel that was similar in style to the churches they had
left in New England. Ebenezer Bryce, a shipbuilder, took on the challenge in 1868 and used his shipbuilding experience to design the chapel. The attic rafters were built like the bottom of a ship. When the church was finished, he said, “If a flood should come, it would float and if a wind came strong enough to blow it over, it would still never crash to pieces.” The Pine Valley Chapel is the oldest continuously used building of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
