Kanab's Historic Homes

Kanab this Kanab that, blah blah blah. Well in the last posting I added a note about this town's historic structures. 15 are listed on the historic "Walking Tour". But I found many more. You can walk to all of them so I put it in this Blog. But to see them all in a day I recommend bicycling.  Do not take pictures of the residents. Do not publish any photos of these residences without written specific permission from the residents! It is strictly illegal to do so. None the less people are proud of these homes. Take a look. There are 15 structures on the Kanab "Heritage Walking Tour". I found 24 more homes with Heritage Council documentation signage. There are at least that many more that qualify, but these people do not appreciate gapers apparently. Kanab also has a historic cemetery and historic movie sets (free access) and movie star signage.
Some notes on the 15 structures on the "Walking Tour": the structure at 97W Center has a facade, the house at 101W 100N has an address on it of 106 on it (for sale MLS 1404772 and 4 stars in my opinion), the Heritage House (4 stars) at Main and 100S has an address of 115S on the fence, the B&B at 58S has an address of 54 on it (4 stars), the structure at 17W 100S is 4 stars, the structure at 116S 100W is 4 stars, the 4 star house at 93N 200W has a for sale sign but must be inactive, the commercial property at 86S 200W is for sale (MLS 1404456).

Most of these family names still have plenty of representatives living in the area.
So the original town site appears to have roughly been from what is currently from 300W to 400E and from 300N to 400S with a few "outliers".
