974 CMLXXIV

What a gorgeous house!!! I love the balconies, I could picture myself painting out there if the wind wasn't too bad. :) I would hate it here though - I couldn't imagine having to shovel that much snow! Cause you wouldn't want it to melt there... Thank you Eva!
Beehive House (not sure I like that name! lol)
The Beehive House served as Brigham Young's residence, office and reception area for official visitors. At the time the house was built, Young was both president of the LDS Church and Utah's territorial governor. The Beehive House was designed by Young's brother in law, Truman O Angel.

Why Beehive? Because there is a sculpture on top - slightly cut off - that is said to resemble a beehive. Interesting. US-326563
