The Lars Peter Larson House is a historic house in Cleveland, Utah. It was built in 1908 for Lars Peter Larson,[2] the son of Danish immigrants who converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[3] Larson, who worked as farmer, shepherder,[4] and a salesman for the LDS-run Cleveland Cooperative Mercantile Association, lived here with his wife, née Nora Oveson.[3] The house was designed in the Shingle style,[2] and it was meant to resemble a castle.[3] The Larsons moved to Salt Lake City in 1915, and the house was acquired by Joseph Locke, followed by Harry C. Allred, and Ronald Norris.[3] Larson died in Los Angeles in 1962.[3] The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since February 13, 1980.[1][4]
