The Benjamin and Olivia Meek House, at 12782 South Fort St. in Draper, Utah, was built in c.1898. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. The listing included two contributing buildings and one other contributing structure.

According to its 2001 NRHP nomination, the house is significant "as one of only four remaining eligible central-block houses, two-stories or taller and all located on this street, remaining in Draper, Utah,", for its Victorian style representing prosperity in Draper, and for its association with the Nielson family (Olivia Meek's family) that was important and successful in sheep and cattle raising in Draper.
