THE BEEHIVE HOUSE | HOME OF BRIGHAM YOUNG | TEMPLE SQUARE SALT LAKE CITY UTAH
The Beehive House is the home of Brigham Young and is located in Temple Square Salt Lake City Utah. Join us as we take a tour of this historic mansion.The Beehive House was one of the official residences of Brigham Young, the second president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). The Beehive House gets its name from the beehive sculpture atop the house.
We are not affiliated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints but wanted to see this amazing home. When we walked in we were greeted by a very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. This tour is absolute must do if you are visiting the Salt Lake City area.
The Beehive House was constructed in 1854, two years before the neighboring Lion House was built (also a residence of Young's). Both homes are one block east of the Salt Lake Temple and Temple Square on South Temple street in Salt Lake City, Utah. The home was designed by Young's brother-in-law and architect of the Salt Lake Temple, Truman O. Angell, who also designed the Lion House. It was constructed of adobe and sandstone.
Young was a polygamist, and the Beehive House was designed to accommodate his large family. The Lion House also became his official residence as governor of Utah Territory and president of the LDS Church. Upon its completion, Young briefly shared the Beehive House with his senior (and only legally recognized) wife Mary Ann Angell (1803–1882), though she chose to make her home in the White House, a smaller residence on the property. Young's first polygamous wife, Lucy Ann Decker Young (1822–1890), possibly due to her seniority, became hostess of the Beehive House and lived there with her nine children.
The Beehive House served as the executive mansion of Utah Territory from 1852 to 1855 and was where Young entertained guests. The home is connected by a suite of rooms to the Lion House. This suite included Young's offices and his private bedroom where he died in 1877. - Wikipedia
On this 30 minute tour you will see some of Brigham Young's personal items like his coat and cane. We also enjoyed looking at his tools and his beaver hats. The admission is free and the hours are Monday - Saturday 10 am to 6 pm.

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.

Utah State Capitol Hill and Government Building in Salt Lake City during Restoration and Renovation
Views of Utah State Capitol Hill and Government Building in Salt Lake City during the Restoration and Renovation Works. The following Wikipedia article covers the role of this building in the governing of Utah -- The Utah State Capitol is the house of government for the U.S. state of Utah. The building houses the chambers of the Utah State Legislature, the offices of the Governor of Utah and Lieutenant Governor of Utah, along with other supporting offices for the Government of Utah. The capitol is the main building of the Utah State Capitol Complex, which is located on Capitol Hill, overlooking downtown Salt Lake City. The Neoclassical revival, Corinthian style building was designed by architect Richard K.A. Kletting, and built between 1912 and 1916. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Beginning in 2004 the capitol experienced a major restoration and renovation project. The project added two new buildings to the capitol complex, while restoring many of the capitol's public spaces to their original appearance. One of the largest projects during the renovation was the addition of a base isolation system which will allow the building to survive as much as a 7.3 magnitude earthquake. After completion of the renovations, the building was rededicated and resumed normal operation in January 2008. The relevant Wikipedia article is on the following link --
