The outbuildings on this property are typical of the “Mormon Village” plan idea and a testament to the owner’s dedication to historic preservation.*

Peter Jensen Cabin

One and one-half story cabin moved to Spring City from the town of Central in Sevier County. One of few remaining Norwegian log houses in Utah and is noteworthy for key north joints at the corners. SO well made that chinking is not required between the logs.*

Griffiths / Larsen House

This house was built around a log granary which Ephraim Larsen and Everett Griffiths hauled to the west part of the lot. They punched holes for a door and windows and added siding.

It was purchased by Allan and Christie Beck after 1926. Their daughter, Carma Beck, retired and lived here until her death in June 2011. The current owners (Jim & Eileen Brown) restored the home, built an addition, and added gardens.

Albert and Martha Puzey House

This historic house was built in 1906 by Albert Puzey. Albert’s wife, Martha, was given a wedding gift of $500 by her father, Simon Beck, and the Puzey’s were able to save another $100 during the next 5 years for the lot and construction funds. The house was originally an adobe ‘T’-shaped cross-wing type home and in 1913 a rear addition was built. The rear addition was an adobe-filled frame with Dutch Cove siding, which has recently been restored. Albert worked as a farmer, a sheepherder, a clerk at the local mercantile, and also served as Spring City Marshal for several years. The Puzey’s raised 10 children in the small adobe home without having indoor plumbing or a kitchen. Straw tick bedding was put down and picked up each day for the 10 children. To wash the clothes, water was heated outside in a large, black caldron over a fire. The kitchen and bathroom, with running water, were installed after 1948, when Albert sold the home to his son Willard and daughter-in-law Bessey Christiansen Puzey. The house passed through many hands for the next several decades. The current owners, the Millers, have been restoring it over the past four years. The house is a contributing feature within the Spring City Historic District.

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.

John Bohleen House

John Bohleen built the original one-room adobe section of this house in 1859. He was a prominent local stone mason, responsible for work on the meetinghouse and on many homes in Spring City. He sold the property in 1874 to Peter Olsen. The brick and adobe addition on the south side dates. from the 1860’s or ’70’s. This house is one of the earliest remaining in the town, and illustrates the additive quality of Spring City vernacular architecture.

Andrew Olsen House

This house was built for Andrew Olsen, a farmer who emigrated to Utah from Denmark as a con- vert to the L.D.S. Church. The exact construction date of the house is unknown, but believed to be between 1874 and 1884. The fenestration pattern on the front elevation, with five openings on the lower level and three openings on the up- per level, is very unusual. It makes this a unique variation of the hall-parlor house which was a very common building type in the Utah Territory. Marker placed in 1990.
