Fisher Mansion Earthquake Repairs and Stabilization
Project updates
Construction will begin September 2025. Mobilization, the stormwater pollution prevention plan, and scaffolding will first be setup to prepare the roof for structural stabilization work to occur in the Mansion walls.
Project overview
The project will repair and stabilize the interior and exterior of historic Fisher Mansion. The building has damage from age, water leaks, and the 2020 earthquake in Salt Lake City.
The goal is to strengthen the structure, protect it from further damage, and make sure it remains safe and functional while preserving its historic character.
Work will include:
- Upgrading the heating and cooling system
- Strengthening the exterior brick walls
- Tying the floors and roof into the reinforced walls
- Reinforcing the foundation and repouring the basement slab
- Rebuilding earthquake-damaged chimneys
- Installing a new roof
- Pointing and repairing the brick exterior
- Fixing interior wall and ceiling cracks, then repainting
- Installing a new sewer line
