This large two-story hall-parlor stone house with Greek
Revival influence was built by James Crisp, a farmer and
stock raiser from England. Crisp came to Utah in 1866 and
arrived in Spring City the following year. After working at
various occupations, he freighted produce to the mining
camps on the Nevada-Utah border. Wealth followed, and in
the early 1880s Crisp built this house. Dances were held on
the second floor. In the early 1900s Crisp met an untimely
death due to a farming accident. Orson and Lorena Sorenson
Allred purchased the house, built a rear addition and
opened several rooms for boarding and thus operated what
came to be known as the Allred Hotel for some 25 years. Recently Mark and Vickie Allen have been restoring the hotel and are now operating a Bed and Breakfast in the old hotel.
