Jens Peter Carlson House

Constructed c. 1896, this finely crafted Victorian cottage is noteworthy for its polished, hand-rubbed oolite limestone. The home showcases the talents of Danish immigrant John (Jens) P. Carlson, the original builder and owner, who alone quarried, dressed, and smoothed the stone. He was one of the three principle stone masons who built the Manti Temple and the historic Spring City chapel. Carlson toiled for eight years on this house, but died before completing the full two-story residence.
