William Abbott Home/Abbott Hotel

Circa 1901

This is a two-story adobe building with a rock foundation. The walls are three adobes thick and there are six rooms on each floor. Abbott served as Bishop of the local congregation of the Church of Jesus Christ of Later-day Saints for 27 years. His large home was a gathering place and hotel, offering lodging for weary travelers and visiting church authorities.

Marker is on East Mesquite Boulevard east of North Sandhill Road, on the right when traveling east.
