My FavoritesInformation
Visit one of the earliest brick homes in Nauvoo.
This beautiful federal-style home was built by John Ivins and later occupied by John Taylor, the third President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. John was with Church founders when they were murdered in Carthage. Here, he suffered grave injuries when he was shot four times.
