Hoff-Ulland farm -,5itJiiila6 southwest of Clifton, Bosque County, Texas, on S. Durnett survey A.B. Ulland 107 N. Avenue Clifton, Texas 76634 Private residence, agriculture Building Unoccupied Hurst Springs, Texas 1:24000 14/629420/3510500 less than 1 acre 28 DESCRIPTION Located about five miles southwest of Clifton, the Hoff-Ulland farm stands on relatively level terrain about one mile north of Neils Creek. The house is unoccupied and is in a fair state of repair. The first house was a two-story stone structure that was built in 1881. Little is known of its appearance, but the present design retains its original gabled roof and double-hung windows with six-over-six lights. In 1912 a much larger stone structure was built to the north of the first residence, and joined to the older portion by wood-frame construction. Facing north, the present front is symmetrical and features a two-tiered porch with a balcony. The second-floor porch is the smaller of the two. A single-door entiry with sidelights opens onto the ground level, while French doors provide access to the second-story balcony, which lies beneath a prominent gable. Double-hung windows with one-over-one lights pierce the stuccoed walls. Exterior stone and brick chirmeys on the east and west ends of the house extend above the gables and add to the overall symmetry of the facade. The ends of the front gable and of the two end gables of the main addition are covered by wooden shingles applied in a saw-toothed pattern. The entire roof is presently covered by composition shingles.

Other structures included in the nomination are an aboveground cistern, a frame corn crib, and two modern storage sheds with metal siding. SIGNIFICANCE This house was constructed in 1881 by Mikkel and Johanna Hoff and is presently owned by their granddaughter, Lila Pauline and her husband, A. B. (Bert) Ulland. In 1912 a major addition was built onto the front of this structure, making i t one of the largest houses in the settlement. The house is deemed significant, for i t reveals the changes in the architectural tastes of second-generation Norwegians.
