The Jens Nielson House is a historic house in Bluff, Utah. It was built in 1890 for Jens Nielson, an immigrant from Denmark who converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and arrived in the United States with his wife, née Elsie Rasmussen, in 1856.[2] Nielson moved to San Juan County, Utah in 1879, and he served as the bishop of Bluffdale for 26 years.[2] His house was designed in the Gothic Revival and Vernacular Victorian styles.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since February 22, 1982.[1]
