Built in 1936 in Centerville, Utah, the Smoot Dairy Farmhouse is a one-and-a-half-story Tudor Revival brick structure that served as both residence and office for one of the state's largest privately owned dairy operations. Raised on a concrete foundation, the house displays characteristic Tudor Revival features including distinctive round-head windows in the English Tudor style and steeply pitched front gables. The farmhouse was one of only two buildings to survive a devastating 1963 fire that destroyed much of the dairy facility; within a year, the Smoot family rebuilt their operation into the most modern dairy in Utah. Under Edgar Smoot's management, the dairy supplied milk to approximately 2,000 Centerville households, regional restaurants and hotels, and served as the regional provider for United Airlines for thirty-two years. Now located at the corner of Main Street and Jennings Lane on the northeast corner of the original property, the farmhouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016 as the only surviving historic structure representing the Smoot family's significant contributions to the community.
