It is a two-room stone dwelling with a later frame addition that created a row-house type of plan. It stands close to the larger Keddel and Liv Grimland farm.","narrative":"Set in a field along FM 219, about eight and a half miles southwest of Clifton in Bosque County, this one-and-a-half-story stone house was built around 1869 or 1870 by Gunsten and Lofise Grimland. The original portion has two rooms. A wood-frame addition, probably added around the turn of the century, extends the west end and gives the building a row-house type of plan. Both main facades are symmetrical: the north front has a central doorway flanked by two windows, while the south wall has two doorways and a central window. A stone chimney rises through the corrugated metal roof, and a cistern sits a few feet south. The house has been unoccupied and used as a barn for more than 40 years, so the interior is gutted and the doors and sashes are gone. It was listed as a good example of an early pioneer farmhouse in the Norwegian settlement area, standing close to the larger Keddel and Liv Grimland farm.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Gunsten and Lofise Grimland","architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"Unoccupied and abandoned; used as a barn for over 40 years, with the interior gutted and doors and window sashes removed.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:19.674572-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/62/9683/40968362/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/83003105.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40968362","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110001641"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/bosque-county/grimland-gunsten-and-lofise-house-83003105/"}
