This marvelous historical manor is a Utah gem that is steeped in a century of history. Originally established in 1938 by the Walker family as a summer home, this property boasts a 13,000 square foot house, a guesthouse with a second floor apartment, a newly built caretaker’s cottage, a charming barn, and acres of exquisite gardens, pools, ponds, and paths. With only 4 owners since the home was built, each one has carefully preserved this historic property while updating essential elements to capitalize on modern innovations.
Located at the end of one of the most elite streets in Utah, this home is nestled in an extremely quiet, pastoral setting. The ornate, wrought iron fence that surrounds the property, which was purchased at a museum auction, is the original fence that surrounded Boston Common at the same time Paul Revere made his infamous midnight ride. A lovely pond and winding path are part of the sweeping landscape that leads to the grand entrance, which features stately pillars, an ornate ceiling, and an intricate fountain.
Beyond the magnificent entry, the foyer still has the original marble floors and lead glass windows. It also features a stunning spiral staircase that was meticulously reassembled by hand after being purchased from the New Hampshire’s Governor’s mansion that draws the eye up to a gorgeous chandelier.
The spacious living room has an abundance of beautiful features, including the original fireplace and hardwood floors, ornate moldings, and a period chandelier. The large windows offer sweeping views of an exquisite landscape and the pool, which won an international gold medal for design.
The billiards room boasts original stained glass, coffered, gold leaf ceilings, and marble floors. French doors and windows in a lovely alcove bathe the room in soft light. A wet bar and a regal fireplace make this space ideal for gathering together with friends and family for any event.
One of the most charming rooms in the home is the winter garden room, which has heated tile floors under a beautiful atrium. Three sets of French doors leading to the gardens provide ample light and outstanding views.
To the left of the foyer, a water closet with a gold sink and stained glass sits just outside the private office space. This majestic office is surrounded with wonderful architectural features, including wood paneling from the New Hampshire Governor’s mansion, arch doors, stunning tile, and a wood fireplace.
To the right of the living room is a spacious formal dining room with marble floors, a fireplace, and antique windows from England. The adjacent kitchen boasts traditional details such as tall ceilings and original stained glass, but commercial-grade appliances, a massive granite island, and a butler’s pantry capitalize on modern conveniences. It is easy to entertain groups of any size with easy access from the kitchen to the patio, the formal dining room, or the informal dining space.
To the right of the kitchen, the informal dining space and the family room, create a modern-day great room. Domed ceilings, antique stained glass and a grand fireplace add to the ambiance of this room and an ice cream parlor from England offers some whimsy.
Upstairs, the master bedroom boasts floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the spectacular gardens and flood the room with light.
The ballet room houses several treasures, including woodwork from the historic Leyson-Pearsall jewelry store that was established on Salt Lake City’s Main Street in 1905. The original jewelry case, a wrought iron gate, and beautiful columns add wonderful charm to this delightful room.
Additional features include a second story laundry room, a luxurious sauna, and a generous mudroom with lockers and a dog bath. Each of the home’s bedrooms is a miniature suite, with two closets and a full bathroom assigned to each room, which allows family members and guests to enjoy their own private sanctuary.
The stunning grounds of this property are beyond comparison. A charming cutting garden, lush fruit trees, and sprawling grassy areas create an inherently beautiful atmosphere. Paths wind through the property, which is dotted with quiet sitting areas that provide views of the stunning Wasatch mountain range. Original statues, an award-winning pool, and a sports court offer something for everyone. The ponds, pools, and creek keep the grounds cooler in the summer than other parts of the valley, which makes it even easier to enjoy the outdoors.
The spellbinding peg-wood barn was carefully constructed with attention to every detail. On the main floor, the three stall doors are salvaged elevator doors from the renown Walker building in downtown Salt Lake City. Wooden beams flank the tall ceiling and beautiful chandeliers provide a charming aesthetic.

Salt Lake City Judge Virginia Bauskett Ward BUSTED - Dealing Drugs
Ladies and Gentleman, over the years I have had the privilege of sharing with you how corrupt Utah cop's are, how Utah cop's lie to meet City budgetary goals, how you can never trust a Utah cop or you will get screwed.
Today I am sharing with you how corrupt Utah Judges are. This judge was BUSTED by the FBI. This judge is a soon to be convicted criminal. What the news reports fail to report are the postal service charges coming so she has more charges coming her way!!
This soon to be convicted piece of trash & criminal is one of many reason's Utah Justice Courts are better references as CASH COW ROMPER ROOM courts rather a court where justice is served. For those who do not live in Utah and see this video please refer to my video titled Cash Cow's or justice Courts. In that news report it is reported that Salt Lake City Justice court is the top CASH COW in the state of all 109 Justice Courts in the State.
Here is how Salt Lake city's set's up it's romper room courts to harass innocent citizens:
Salt Lake City operates Utah's largest municipal court system. City ordinance establishes the office of judgeships. The Mayor appoints each judge, subject to ratification by the city council. The judges are supervised by the Mayor, through the Director of Management Services. The Utah Supreme Court, the Judicial Council, and the Administrative Office of the Courts lack statutory authority to hire, fire, supervise, pay, reappoint, or otherwise control a Salt Lake City judge.
This is very disturbing but true check it: In an April 30, 2003 memorandum, the Chief Administrative Officer of Salt Lake City praised city judges for convicting 97% of all traffic defendants.
Criminal Ward was among the City, Mayor appointed judges that handed down so many convictions regardless of a person's innocence!!
This is just a rough draft I will fine tune and grammar correct this later. If you would like to source behind some of the statistic's I have provided check this link:

Enjoy folks it all comes down to three tings: (1) cops lie (2) judges lie (3) we the public are victimized!!!
Pulaski Brownfields and Lasting Postive Impact
As a community service project, Draper Aden Associates worked with citizen members of the Town of Pulaski’s Economic Development Board for about a year to develop a grant proposal to fund the investigation of abandoned and deteriorating industrial sites, known as Brownfields, in the community. The grant proposal was successfully approved for expanded program funding through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, in the amount of $200,000. Subsequent to procurement, Draper Aden Associates was awarded a contract by the Town to begin the process of evaluating existing Brownfields sites for reuse as public facilities and/or for redevelopment as viable residential, commercial, industrial or mixed-use properties. The project concentrated on two target areas: (1) the Historic Downtown Commercial District located near the center of Town, and (2) the Pulaski South Historical Residential and Industrial District, also known as Southside. The Town envisions developing these areas, which adjoin less affluent residential areas to the south, into usable public, commercial, and/or residential space to encourage active sustainable reuse. The $200,000 EPA Assessment Grant has provided funds to inventory, characterize, assess, and conduct cleanup and redevelopment planning and community involvement activities related to Brownfields sites.

The Dan River Pollution Interview, Draper Landing.
We met these folks at the Draper Landing on The Dan River just outside the City of Eden N C and discussed the Duke Power coal ash spill.NBC and the Weather Channel were there also. In early Feb, Duke Power's Steam Plant had a massive coal ash spill from one of its coal ash retention ponds located mere feet from the river's edge. Coal ash flowed 70 miles down stream and coated the bottom of the river with several feet of ash in some places, killing all aquatic life and affecting the drinking water. A heavy rain could push it even further down river.

If you do not know how to live on the edge, literally, take your lead from these guys! These brave souls took their 300 pound dirt bikes and tried to bomb up a 1,000 foot hill with a 70 percent grade. INSANE!!!! Top that off with some Rockstar Energy drinks, Rockwell swag, and 300 cc and up dirt bikes and it makes for one awesome Saturday. It was tons of fun to watch these guys, gals and even little kids, that's right kids, tackle the mountain. Enjoy!!!!
If you have any awesome ideas that we can shoot over the summer for one of our videos, hit us up!!!
