The Stephenie & Mitch Larsen Encircle Home

Welcome to Encircle Provo

This historic home built in 1891 underwent a complete renovation. Hundreds of community members donated time, products, and professional labor to make this space a reality.

The grand opening was on February 14, 2017, and the space was originally dedicated to Encircle champions Clint Ford & Bruce Bastian. It was named the Stephenie & Mitch Larsen Home in 2016 after the passing of founder Stephenie Larsen’s husband, Mitch.
