The house is rubble stone construction which has beed stuccoed recently. The interior plan is hall and parlor with a boxed staircase running up the back wall.

Unusual in plan, the house represents one variation possible within the local folk building tradition. Neils Borreson was born in Norway and was an early settler of Spring City. Neils served a Norwegian mission in 1876 . Borreson's daughter, Mary Borreson Schofield, later owned the house and town legend purports that she and her daughter were the town prostitutes. The ladies would not accomodate visitors who tried to sneak in the back door and were open and frank about their activities. 1870 deed to Niels H. Borreson, 1874 sold to Hannie M. Nielsen for $200. Borreson buys it back in 1878 for $200.
