Peter Hansen House (Manti, Utah)


The Peter Hansen House, located at 247 S. 200 East in Manti, Utah, was built in 1875. It is historically significant as a Scandinavian-American folk architecture example. It was built by Danish-born brickmason Peter Hansen who immigrated in the 1860s. As brick was rare in Manti before the 1880s, it is believed that Hansen fired bricks for this house in a kiln on the property. The house was sold for $500 in 1882.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
The house may have been demolished; there was a vacant lot at approximately its location in 2012.
The house appears to still be there at the back of the property behind the trees and garden area, 2019.
