The structure is listed on both Utah's and the National Historic Registries. The home has gone through various remodeling projects, and has been continuously occupied since it was first built. It has not always been in the Gardner family, though. For the last couple of decades, Robert's direct descendent, Al Gardner, has planned to re-procure the home, and then restore it to its original condition to preserve as a living museum. Once he was able to get the home back, Al's sister Sherill moved in. She has lived there since, and been the caretaker and steward throughout the restoration process, which began about six years ago. Al spent $1.5 million of his own money on the project, but unfortunately died before it was completed. The restoration process uncovered the original foundation, which was built by river rock gathered from the creek running behind the house. The timbers that form the original floor still have bark on them. The rafters have saw marks, which were made by the first sawmill built and operated on Mill Creek. The Gardner Home is located at 1475 E Murphy's Lane. At 12PM on Friday, October 5th, Al's daughter, Robin Gardner Juvan, will cut the ribbon to open the restored structure to the public. Other participants include Mayor Silvestrini and other Millcreek elected officials, Governer Herbert's office, the Utah Historical Society, Salt Lake County, the Director of the Historical Department of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and Gardner descendants. An open house will take place from 12:30-3 PM, and will feature a tour, pioneer food made in dutch ovens, and homemade root beer. Note that parking is not available at the house, but you can park at the LDS Church at 3487 S 1300 E, where a shuttle will be available from 11AM-3PM.

One of the focus areas of emergency management is mitigation. It is defined as the effort to reduce loss of life and property by lessening the impact of disasters. One way we can lessen the impact or risk is through adequate insurance coverage. With insurance, there are unique plans that address unique hazards when it comes to disasters. Properties located in mapped flood plains are required to take part in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), a program administered through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Subscribe Past Issues Translate ---PAGE BREAK--- 10/30/2018 A Bit of Millcreek History Has Been Restored 10/11 It is highly recommended that those near floodplains get NFIP policies as well. The NFIP is open to all, with premiums based around mapped floodplains. Maps are being updated in the Neff's Creek area, and can be reviewed here. For more information on flood insurance, visit floodsmart.gov Another insurance to consider is earthquake insurance. We have all heard about the "big one" and it could happen at any time. With the concentration of unreinforced masonry buildings and the fault running through the City an earthquake policy can help rebuild and recover when the earthquake happens. The Millcreek Office of Emergency Management invites you to take a good look at your current insurance policies and talk with your agent to determine adequate coverage for your property and belongings. Your agent can most likely help you with questions about additional coverage policies for earthquake, fires and floods.
