The Rider-Pugh House is a historic house in Kanab, Utah. It was built in 1892-1894 by John Rider, an immigrant from Ireland who converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1855 and settled in Utah in 1886. He was assisted by his son, Frank Rider.^[2] Rider initially lived near Salt Lake City with his wife, née Mary McDonald, and their two children.^[2] He moved to a fort in Kanab in 1870, and he purchased the plot of land upon which this house was built in 1889.^[2] The house designed in the Late Victorian style.^[2] Underneath the foyer, there is a "polygamy pit".^[2] In 1895, the house was acquired by Edward Pugh, an immigrant from England who also converted to the LDS Church and arrived in the United States in 1844.^[2] Pugh had two wives, Mary Ann Rock Williams and Elizabeth Kelly, although his first wife lived in Salt Lake City.^[2] The house was deeded to their daughter, Pearl Edna Pugh Brown, in 1914.^[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since April 6, 2001.^[1]
