The Crockett House, at 82 Crockett Ave. in Logan, Utah, was built in 1887. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.

It is a 4000square feet Gothic Revival-style house with hand-carved gables and a large front porch. It was built by craftsmen for Alvin D. Crockett.[1]

Alvin Crockett (1831-1902) served for two terms as mayor of Logan, and served as Cache County sheriff for 15 years. He had 18 children with two wives.[2]

The house was bought by Utah State University professor Bruce Bugbee in 1981, who renovated the house and applied for, and received, National Register recognition.[1]

It has also been known as the Alvin & Annie Crockett House and as the John & Anna Crockett House. A second contributing building is on the property.
