Garside/McMullin House

Constructed in 1898, the Garside/McMullin House reflects the restrained Queen Anne style common in rural Utah during the late nineteenth century, with turrets, projecting bays, balcony, porches, and corbelled brick chimneys shaping its design. Aaron Garside supplemented his farm income by hauling ore at the nearby Bingham Copper Mine during the 1870s and 1880s, moved into the rapidly expanding sheep industry in the 1890s, acquired 640 acres, and built the house. After purchasing a profitable gravel business, he sold the home to Albert Orlando McMullin and moved to Salt Lake City in 1907. Albert had worked in road grading and commodity freighting from Carbon County to the Uinta Basin before selling his farm and moving to the Salt Lake Valley. Following Albert's death in 1935, the home passed to his son, Urban Bryner McMullin, who continued the farming business and became well known for planting straight rows with his fine horses. From 1960 to 1966, the home served as both a residence and the South Jordan City offices. In 1977, the property was willed to Urban's son, Dix Holt McMullin, and Dix and his wife, Renae, completed the home's restoration in 1994.
