1. The Antone Nielson Home Marker

Inscription. Built in 1898 by Antone Nielson, the granite rock for the foundation was brought from the Temple Quarry in Little Cottonwood Canyon. The first floor was built 3" above the ground because of high ground water and possible flooding from the South Willow Creek. This building is a Folk Victorian, 2 1/2 story structure with a brick exterior. The intricate parquet wood floor was entirely hand cut and layed, then nailed in place. The remaining wood moldings were all carved from redwood, restored by Peter & Tatiana Lawson and Carl and Kim Clark from 1988-1993.

Erected by Draper Historic Preservation Commission.
