Johnson-Hansen House, Historic residence in Provo, United States
The Johnson-Hansen House is a 19th-century residence featuring Gothic architecture and brick construction in Provo. The property includes several structures such as a historic log cabin and garage.
The house was built in 1870 and belonged to Danish immigrant Niels Johnson. Johnson worked as a farmer and cemetery sexton for the city until 1923.
The house reflects the early settlement pattern that shaped the city under Brigham Young's vision. The arrangement shows how families used their lots with outbuildings for work and daily activities.
The house retains its original structure and stands among just a few homes from the 1870s in the neighborhood. Visitors can observe the combination of main residence and outbuildings that defined living at that time.
The attached log cabin served as a gunsmith workshop for Ray Hansen for many decades. This workspace showed how craft work took place alongside residential life.
