The Tuttle-Folsom House is a historic house in Manti, Utah. It was built in 1850, and later acquired by Luther T. Tuttle, the mayor of Manti who was also " a leading merchant, banker, livestock raiser andserved four terms as a territorial legislator."[1] From 1880 to 1890, it belonged to architect William Harrison Folsom, who designed the Manti Utah Temple among many other buildings, followed by John C. Witbeck and John E. Metcalf.[1] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since July 21, 1977.

It has an early stone saltbox-type addition, with same cornice detail as in the original portion of the house. There is only a minor break in the roofline, but an obvious break in the stonework of the abutting walls, with just a few interlocking stones.[1]

It is located at 195 W. 300 North, at the southeast corner of N. 200 West. A large addition was added on the north side of the house in 2012.[2]
