The Hans C. Jensen House, at 263 E. 100 South in Ephraim, Utah, is a historic pair-house built around 1870. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]

It was deemed "significant as an example of Scandinavian vernacular architecture in Utah." It is a one-and-a-half-story limestone pair-house, of the subtype having a two-room deep plan. It has paired internal stove chimneys. A bungalow-style portico is a later addition.[2]

It was home of Hans C. Jensen, born in 1845 in Housenge, Denmark. He joined the LDS church in the 1860s and immigrated to Utah in 1866, settling in Ephraim. He was a farmer who also "served on the city council, and was active in the local Danish ward meeting."[2]
