BUILDER/ARCHITECT - Michael McMillan ORIGINAL AND SUBSEQUENT OWNERS: Michael McMillan - 1874 Margaret McMillan Short Walt Dain - 1939 Charles A. Eakins, Sr~ Charles A. Eakins, Jr. Jerry Creason HIS TORICAL INFORMATION: In 1863, M±chael McMillan, a Mormon convert, left Scotland for America. Upon arriving in New York after a nine-week sea voyage, he joined the Fullmore Train, with Samuel White as captain, and arrived in Salt Lake City on October 6, 1863. Michael's first home in Salt Lake was a dugout in the hillside (now extinct) where he and his wife lived until they could build one adobe room (also extinct)! The ~ room was square with no wiridow and nothing but a dirt floor. Mr. McMillan sold some mLnLng property in Little Cottonwood Canyon, and in 1874 built the home that still stands in Murray. All this time Michael McMillan and his brother, Neal Sr., had located a gold mine in Tintic called Scotia (meaning Scotch). They sold out to get money to furnish the new home. .1 : UNCONFIRMED INFORMATION: According to Charles Eakins, Jr. (as told to him by Michael McMillan, Jr.) the granite for the foundations of the home was gotten from the same quarry, and at the same time, as the granite for the Temple in Salt Lake City. Michael McMillan, Sr. hauled the granite for the LDS Temple on condition that he could use the oxen and wagon to haul granite for his own use. It was also stated that Michael McMillan was one of the early presidents of the Murray School District's Board of Education. Finally, Charles Eakins told us that Murray City is pressing frr destruction of the McMillan Home on the grounds that is an eyesore to the residential area surrounding it.
