The David Eccles House, at 250 W. Center St. in Logan, Utah, was built in 1907. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
It was designed by Logan architects Joseph Monson and Karl C. Schaub. Overall it is Eclectic or Late Victorian in style, with Queen Anne influence, with numerous Classical Revival style details, and with two turrets which have been termed Chateauesque.
Through 1976 it was regarded as the largest home in Cache Valley. It has three stories, 24 rooms, and 11000square feet.
In 1943 it became a dormitory for the Utah State Agricultural College and was cut up into bedrooms and bathrooms. Later it was a fraternity house. It was sold in 1970 to private owners who renovated it, and by 1976 much of its original character had been restored.
The folklore surrounding the mansion includes a challenge where young people from around the valley would be invited to enter the basement through a single door and make it to the third floor and back down while the owners were sleeping. Many students from Utah State University would do the challenge in complete fear before realizing it was a joke, often followed up by a dance party in the lower rooms of the mansion.
