Description:
This marker directly corresponds with SHL 193, Historic Flume and Lumber Yard. It was here from 1870-1918, stood the two-story home of Matthew Culbertson Gardner, the headquarters for Gardner's 300 acre ranch in the meadows directly to the southwest. It was also in 1870-1898 that the Historic Flume and Lumber Yard was located. Gardner himself logged for the Company's lumberyard, also making him responsible for building the only standard-gauge logging railroad in the Tahoe Basin.
Gardner died in 1908 and his residence was destroyed by a fire in August of 1918. Today, many of the old trees are still there, the same ones that once shaded the grounds of the Gardner family.
