Without a doubt the Fischer Mansion should be turned into a museum that honors Utah's beer heritage. I think the Fishers would approve.

I have driven past this old beauty many times and have often wondered how it ended up in this unusual location. Thanks for writing about it! Can't wait to see it once it's opened to the public.

Great house in a terrible location. It looks straight at a retaining wall for I-80 and is totally surrounded by the Utah Power complex

Bob Vila, not Villa.

Yes, it IS in a terrible location, but that's all the more reason to clean up this area and get the Jordan River Trail completed. What a fine place this would be to grab a lemonade or latte while hiking or biking the trail! Thanks for sharing this story with us.
