The Jens Nielsen House, at 192 W. 200 South in Ephraim, Utah, is a pair-house built around 1870. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]

It is a one-story limestone and adobe example of a pair-house. It was deemed "significant as an example of Scandinavian vernacular architecture in Utah."[2]

It was probably built by Jens Christian Nielsen, a Danish-born farmer, around 1870.[2]
