The Hans C. Jensen House, at 263 E. 100 South in Ephraim, Utah, is a historic pair-house built around 1870. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
It was deemed "significant as an example of Scandinavian vernacular architecture in Utah." It is a one-and-a-half-story limestone pair-house, of the subtype having a two-room deep plan. It has paired internal stove chimneys. A bungalow-style portico is a later addition.[2]
It was home of Hans C. Jensen, born in 1845 in Housenge, Denmark. He joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the 1860s and immigrated to Utah in 1866, settling in Ephraim. He was a farmer who also "served on the city council, and was active in the local Danish ward meeting."[2]
The house is south-facing. By 2009, the western one of the pair of roof-piercing chimneys was no longer present.[3]
