National Register of Historic Places - Joseph F. and Isabelle Jensen House
Statement of Significant: Built in c.1902, the Joseph F. and Isabelle Jensen House is historically significant as a type of house built during a transitional period of development in Sandy's history. It is representative of houses built between 1893 and the 1920s as Sandy's economy changed from a mining and smelting based one, to an emphasis on large farming operations and businesses. The Jensen family was involved in civic and community activities in Sandy including Joseph's term on the city council and his work as a teamster, laborer and farmer. They are an example of the type of family that developed after the mining boom. A good example of an early version of the central-block-with-projecting-bays houses constructed during the same period in Sandy, this house retains much of its Victorian Eclectic and modest Queen Anne detailing and contributes to the architectural character of Sandy.
