Named after the original owner Thomas Gardner. He purchased the property in 1873 for the lofty sum of $300 and built the current house.
Frank Bryant, the third owner, added a second story to the original house in 1912. As the story goes, Mrs. Bryant's parents were so dissappointed when she was born a girl, they named her Frank anyway.
Avis Jackson Lothrop, the fifth owner, was sister to Hazel Brill Jackson, the sculptor/artist/poet who owned the Destiny Bay property and Western Head. Ms. Lothrop named the home "Tide Run" and many of her furnishings remain in the home today.
