James Gardner Home
The home of James Gardner, one of Mendon’s early pioneer settlers, still stands as built in Mendon, Utah. Located at 173 South Main, it is one of the better maintained of the few remaining rock homes from a time when this was as nice a home as one could hope too acquire. Although the porch and front columns are now gone, along with the standard issue Mendon pioneer picket fence, the home today is still lived in and tended too.
Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, it is one of five such structures found in Mendon, Utah to be so designated. Of the five four still stand. The others are of course the well known, George W. Baker home, Samuel Baker home and the James G. Willie home. The fifth structure, the Mendon Elementary School, was torn down by the city.
