This stately two story, hall and parlor house with a rear
stone wing, was built by Charles Crawforth. A former
coachman in England, Crawforth had an interest in horticulture
and came to Spring City in 1874. He became a
farmer and also maintained an orchard of 250 trees west
of the house as well as a beautiful garden complete with
peacocks. Surrounding outbuildings included a barn,
stone carriage house and a stone root cellar. The house
faces north with grand views of Mt. Nebo to the Northwest.
Crawforth, a widower, married William Hudson’s widow,
Elizabeth Cooper Hudson. He died in 1910 and the land and
house passed to his son, then to the son’s family. Interior
designer, J. Scott Anderson, restored the house and outbuildings
in 1990.
