Platte
and Adelia Lyman were married May 18, 1867. They were living
in Millard County until the LDS church called them to the
San Juan Mission in 1879. Platte was one of the scouts of
the Hole-in-the-Rock group during their trek from Parowan,
Utah, to Bluff during the winter of 1879-1880.
The house
is constructed of rough squared sandstone blocks. It has a
high truncated hip roof that flares at the eaves. There is
an original front porch. The builders were E.F. Thompson and
H.T. Hibbs, along with Nick Lovace. Platte started the house
before he died and his son Albert finished it.
