Tax records show Lars Olson, one of the earliest Norwegian pioneers, owned the land in 1880, and Andrew Hanson obtained it in 1891. The form notes that little is known of the farmhouse's early history.","narrative":"Set on a hill above the Gary Creek valley, this farmstead southwest of Clifton in Bosque County is easily seen from FM 219. Its main building is a one-and-a-half-story house with a rectangular plan and limestone walls covered in stucco. The three-bay south front has a centered double-door entrance sheltered by a shed-roof porch with chamfered wooden columns, and a small clapboard gable with one window rises above it. Windows are double-hung with two-over-two lights, and brick chimneys rise at each end of the gable roof, now covered in composition shingles. Two wood-frame barns, a small shed and a cistern complete the property. Tax records show that Lars Olson, an early Norwegian pioneer, owned the land in 1880, and Andrew Hanson acquired it in 1891. Little else is known of the house's early history, but it is regarded as a good example of a late 19th-century Norwegian farm in the area.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":null,"criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as in good condition and used occasionally as a weekend residence; the status field lists it as unoccupied.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:19.396929-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/81/9683/40968381/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/83003115.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40968381","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110001687"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/bosque-county/olson-hanson-farm-83003115/"}
