The Michael Jensen House, built c.1913, is significant for its association with Sandy's historical developement. The house is an example of the more permanent brick homes built by second-generation residents of Sandy during this period. It is architectually significant as an example of the brick bungalow in Sandy and constructed by a prominent local builder, August Nelson. At the rear of the house are two enclosed porch additions. The earlier addition was probably constructed soon after the house was built. The second and smaller addition was built c.1950.
Michael Jensen bought the property in 1913 for $300. The house was most likely built soon after. In July of 1930, the home was sold to Jesse and Lila Woodhouse. Mr. Woodhouse owned and operated a custom gunshop and was also a teacher of mathematics and auto mechanics in various Utah schools. The home is still owned an occupied by the Woodhouse family.
