The structure also illustrates the additive quality of Spring City archi tecture. John Bohleen (the family recently has changed the spelling to Bohlin) owned this lot through 1874 and probably built the early section about 1860. Peter Olsen later lived here and Jonas Petersen picked it up after a 1904 tax sale. It is not known who made the addition. Bohleen was a prominent stone mason in town, and was responsible for the masonry work on the meetinghouse and on many homes. In 1874 Bohleen moved to Block 43 lot 4. Lee Ray Sorensen tore this house down in the 1960's. |
