The John Patten House is a historic two-story house in Manti, Utah. It was built with limestone in 1854 by John Patten, a native of Fairplay, Indiana who converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the 1830s with his family and relocated to Utah in 1850.[3] Patten had two sons and three daughters with his first wife Candace Smith.[3] After she died, he married her sister Emily, and they had three sons and two daughters.[3] The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since August 22, 1977.[1]
