Charles Crawforth Farmstead

The Charles Crawforth Farmstead is a historic house on a farm in Spring City, Utah. It was built with limestone in 1884 by Charles Crawforth, an immigrant from England who converted to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1854 and settled in Provo, Utah in 1855.[2] Crawforth moved to Spring City in 1873 with his family (including ten children), and he built this house, with aspects of Greek Revival architectural style, in 1884.[2] From his death in 1910 to 1918, it belonged to his son Charles L. Crawforth.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since February 19, 1980.[1]

It is located southwest of Spring City, off Pigeon Hollow Rd. The farmstead includes a two-story hall and parlor plan stone house with a rear "T"-wing, a granary/root cellar, a stone carriage house, and a log barn. The farm is oriented to the north, with a view up the valley to Mt. Nebo, and was relatively isolated, perhaps showing that Mormon households did not always follow the same pattern of concentrating homes in villages.[2]

The house may be the one exactly located at 39.454502°N 111.512639°E, on the south side of Crawford Rd., about 300 yards (270 m) west of its intersection with Pigeon Hollow Rd.
