The Stewart-Woolley House is a historic house in Kanab, Utah. It was built in 1872 for Levi Stewart, who converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with his family in Illinois in 1837.[2] Stewart moved to Kanab in 1870, where he first stayed in an old fort.[2] He built his house shortly after, and it was designed in the Gothic Revival and Late Victorian styles.[2] Stewart served as the local bishop.[2] The house was acquired by Edwin D. Woolley, a native of Nauvoo, Illinois, in 1889. Woolley had two wives, Emma Geneva Bentley, with whom he had twelve children, and Flora Ashby Snow, with whom he had nine children.[2] He lived in this house with his first wife, Emma, and their children, including Mary E. Woolley Chamberlain, who served as the mayor of Kanab from 1911 to 1913.[2] The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since April 6, 2001.[1]
