The Van Fleet House meets the requirements for and is being nominated under the Settlement Era Buildings of Farmington, 1847 to 1896 MPS. The period of significance is ca. 1868 to ca. 1890, which reflects the estimated construction dates of the original dwelling and the primary addition, respectively. Elias and Mary Ann Van Fleet, who owned the property during the Settlement Era, were among the earliest settlers in the community and persons of leadership roles within the social and religious fabric of the town along with working their own farm property. The couple embraced and reflected the essence of pioneer era settlement along the Wasatch Front during the late 1800s.
