The VanFleet Hotel in Farmington, Utah was built during the 1860s for Thomas and Electra Hunt.

History

Originally a residence, it became a hotel in the 1870s as a result of its proximity to a Wells Fargo stage coach stop. It was purchased by Hyrum Van Fleet in 1908, but it was devastated by a fire in 1913. The subsequent reconstruction doubled its size. As it was next to the courthouse, it became known as the "honeymoon hotel" as a result of the many newlyweds who stayed there. The Van Fleet family operated the hotel until 1953, when it was converted to apartments.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 19, 1991.[3]

It currently houses dental offices after a 1995 renovation.[2]
