The Knight Block is a historic building located on South University Avenue (U.S. Route 189) in downtown Provo, Utah, United States.

Twelve years later, Knight married Amanda McEwan and began a ranch in Payson, Utah.

[2] The successful commercial mining of precious metals and minerals transformed Utah's economy from basically an agrarian base to a more industrialized state.

The large silver producer allowed Knight to develop other mines in the East Tintic area.

Knightsville grew around the workings and became touted as the only saloon-free, prostitute-free, privately owned mining camp in the U.S. His strict adherence to doctrines of the LDS Church made the town one inhabited primarily by Mormons.
