Abstract
While it is widely known that many members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, better known as Mormons, practiced a form of polygamy during the nineteenth century, the architectural manifestations of this experiment remain largely mysterious. This article looks at houses designed for multiwife families in Utah during the period from 1847, when the Mormons went West, and 1890, when "living the principle" of polygamy was abolished. The study focuses on several themes, including separate and cohabitational living arrangements, spatial equity among wives, and the gendering of space in multifamily situations.
