One of Spring City’s earliest stone houses it was built for
Paul E. Kofford (aka Koffoed) by stonemason Peter Olsen
Hansen. Kofford, a Dane, was as a translator between
Scandinavian immigrants in Spring City and the Englishspeaking
pioneers. He had learned English during his early
career as a sea captain. The house plan is uncommon with a
front facing parlor followed by two rooms at the rear. Paul’s
son Charles acquired the house and resided there for many
years. The house was renovated and restored in 2005.
