Story

Erected about 1852 by President Brigham Young as the official residence of the president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and occupied by him from the time it was completed until his death in 1877. From 1852 to 1855 it also served as the executive mansion of Governor Brigham Young of the Territory of Utah. It was also the home of presidents Lorenzo Snow (1898-1901) and Joseph F. Smith (1901-1918), both of whom died here. The Bee-Hive is the state emblem signifying industry.
