Johnson-Hansen House, Historic residence in Provo, United States

The Johnson–Hansen House at 485 East 400 South in Provo consists of a brick house, a log cabin, and a garage built between 1870 and 1938. The log cabin links the brick house to the garage, forming a single connected complex.

Niels Johnson, born in Denmark on August 5, 1848, lived in this house from 1871 to 1923 while working as a farmer and Provo city cemetery sexton. After his death in 1937, the property passed to his daughters Caroline Hinckley and Christine Hinckley Robinson, and Ray Hansen then bought it. Hansen, born in Benjamin, Utah, in 1902, used the log cabin as his gunsmith shop for over 50 years.

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.

Ray Hansen moved the log cabin to its present spot and joined it to both his brick house and a new garage; the sources record no reason for this arrangement. The cabin had served as his gunsmith shop for over 50 years.
