The George and Temperance Adams House on West 400 South in Orem, Utah was built in 1895 and was expanded in 1903. It includes Late Victorian architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.[1]

The house is architecturally significant as an example of economic prosperity enabling better building methods. The house is built with brick upon adobe and has more detail than previous common types of homes. Also, the property includes a granary/creamery that "is one of only a few agricultural outbuildings remaining from the early settlement period of Orem."[2]

Originally the property had 5 acres (2.0 ha).[2]
