The Lars S. Andersen House, located at 213 N. 200 East in Ephraim, Utah, was built in 1870. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
The house's original section is a 14 by 13 feet (4.3 m × 4.0 m) stone "square-cabin" in what is now the southwest corner of the house. Two adobe rooms were added to the east, making a three-room pair house of Scandinavian form. Its south-facing facade is unusual, among "Type II pair-houses", for its symmetrical six openings (of 2-2-2 per room) rather than more common (1-3-1 per room) configuration. A long overhanging porch was added along this facade, at that time, with stylized square columns having carved scrollwork at their tops.[2]
Later, an entire one-and-a-half-story T-plan house, of Victorian pattern book design, was added to the north rear, with the base of the T joining the rear of the main house. This portion has corbelled brickwork along its raking eaves and cornice returns, and it has a porch with milled porch posts and scroll-cut tracery.[2]
Andersen was born in Denmark in 1829. He immigrated to Utah and eventually became Bishop of Ephraim.[2]
The house is on the northwest corner of N. 200 East and E. 200 North.[3]
