The Henry and Leatha Chaffin House in Farmington, Davis County, Utah, was originally constructed ca. 1881 and is significant at the local level under Criterion C. It meets the requirements for and is being nominated under the Settlement Era Buildings of Farmington, 1847 to 1896 MPS. The Chaffin House is significant under Criterion C within the area of Architecture as a strong and relatively rare extant representation of pioneer housing during the period in which the community of Farmington was settled. It is significant at the local level as one of only a handful of residential properties from the Settlement Era in Farmington to both remain standing and retain sufficient integrity to reflect its period of construction and period of significance. It is also among the oldest remaining Victorian style buildings in Farmington that retains historic integrity relative to its place as an early example of brick construction that slowly replaced the adobe and stone construction of the early settlement period. The period of significance for this property is limited to ca. 1881, which reflects the estimated original construction date of the dwelling.
