The N. S. Nielson House is a historic house in Mount Pleasant, Utah. It was built in 1892 for N. S. Nielson, an immigrant from Sweden who converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and settled in Utah in 1868.[2] Nielson became a large sheep farmer.[2] He was also president of the Mount Pleasant Commercial and Savings Bank, and the mayor of Mount Pleasant from 1896 to 1897.[2] His house was designed in the Victorian Eclectic architectural style, with Second Empire, Queen Anne, and Beaux-Arts Classical features, and a "two-story square tower with a bell-cast mansard roof."[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since July 26, 1982.[1]
