The Utah Historical Marker mounted on the front of the house reads:
Rasmus Justesen House
Rasmus Justesen was a sheepman and polygamist who built this 1-1/2 story stucco-over-adobe house for his first wife, Sarah Shepherd and her family. In addition to his sheep business, Rasmus fought in the Black hawk Indian War, sat on the Spring City Council in 1876 and was elected mayor twice, in 1880 and in 1897.
