The Peter Hansen House, located at 247 S. 200 East in Manti, Utah, was built in 1875. It is historically significant as a Scandinavian-American folk architecture example. It was built by Danish-born brickmason Peter Hansen who immigrated in the 1860s. As brick was rare in Manti before the 1880s, it is believed that Hansen fired bricks for this house in a kiln on the property. The house was sold for $500 in 1882.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
