Reeder-Omenson Farm
SW of Clifton on FM 182, Clifton, TXAlthough Alvin Reeder, for whom this house was constructed, was not of Norwegian descent, the building itself was erected by two Norwegians, Charlie Olson, and Martin Shefstad. Reeder was also associated with Norway Mill, which was built about the same time and served as an early milling center for the Norwegian settlement area. Probably because of its owner's taste, the style of this structure is more closely related to the contemporary Anglo-American Greek Revival fashion. The house was sold to the Omenson family just after the turn of the century.
Local significance of the building:Listed in National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
