488 N. 200 E.

This house was built c.1880 by Andrew “Fishman” Thompson, a Danish convert to the LDS Church and an active member until controversy between the English and Danish communities in Spring City resulted in his becoming a devout Seventh Day Adventist. He and his wife, Jenssine Amalia, reared ten children in this home: James, Andrew, Christina, Frederick, Thomas, Anne, Agnes, Cephus, Nena, and Tenus. The children attended the Methodist school. Andrew was known as “Fishman” because he would bring in fish from Utah Lake and elsewhere, hauling them around town on ice to sell to local residents.
