Though small and unpretentious, it should rank beside the more obvious, finer homes in historical importance. This lot was originally deeded to Henning O. Worgurmand in 1870. Worgurmand immediately sold the whole lot to Lauritz Larsen in 1871 for $40. In 1874 Larsen sold the section of the lot on the corner where the house stands to Anne Marie Jensen for $400. The increase in price probably means that between 1871-1874 Larsen built the present house.

J: Building Type/Style: vernacular This barn consists of three differertt sections, each a different style and from a different date. (see drawing). The oldest part is the central log section and log stable to the west. The large log crib is exceptional for Spring City log barns for two reasons: 1) it has a door in the broadside of the main crib; 2) the craftmanship of log work is way above normal effort usually ectended to log barns. The barn type is obscure, but seems related to the threebay side-opening English Style (C1assie, p. 133-141). The log work is excellent, the logs are hewed square on top and sides and fit tightly together without chinking. The corner notches are full dovetail and flush with ends of barn. The log stable rerpresents standard Spring City log barn construction. The logs are left round and held together by crude11y executed "V" notching. A new pole hay barn has been tacked onto the east side. There is nothing noteworthy here except the 10ft floor is made of woven willow branches. The third section is a board and pattern frame shed on the north.
