[1]Added to NRHP: April 15, 1994 The Mary Smith House is a house on the National Register of Historic Places in Draper, Utah, United States. It was built around 1883 by Lauritz Smith for his first wife, Mary Kristine Mickelsdotter Smith, to avoid prosecution under the Edmunds Act. Since this law made "cohabitation" illegal, the theory was that if he created a new house for Mary and had his second wife Hannah in his main house he would avoid prosecution.
