The Antone Nielson Home
Built in 1898 by Antone Nielson. The granite rock for the foundation was brought from the Temple Quarry in Little Cottonwood Canyon. The first floor was built 3' above the ground because of high ground water and possible flooding from the south willow creek. This building is a folk victorian, 2 1/2 story structure with a brick exterior. The intricate parquet wood floor was entirely hand cut and layed, then mailed in place. The remaining wood molding were all carved from redwood. Restores by Peter & Tatiana Lawson and Carl and Kim Clark from 1988-1993.
