Context

This building was built in 1910 by William E. Smith, the publisher of the Kaysville Eagle newspaper. In 1910, John White, the founder of the Reflex Publishing Company (the parent company of The Weekly Reflex and other publishing endeavors) moved his publishing business from Farmington to Kaysville where he published The Weekly Reflex. In 1912, White sold the company to some Kaysville investors and William P. Epperson became the publisher/editor. The building was on the east side of Kaysville's Main Street just to the north of Center Street. The building was later the Earl Tall Texaco service station and then other businesses. It was taken down in the 1940s when the Kaysville City Hall was built.
