The Thomas Austin House on E. 500 North in Lehi, Utah was built in 1901. It includes Victorian architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1982.[1]

The house was built for English-born local rancher Thomas Austin, for $4,000. According to its NRHP nomination, it is "the best example in Lehi of Victorian domestic architecture." And: "At a time when eclecticism and irregularity in house design was at a premium, the Austin House projects an asymmetry of massing and mixing of historical details which is truly exceptional."[2]
