The residence of Brigham Young at the Great Salt Lake City, Utah, 1861. Mormon leader Youngs home ...on the northern side of the city, on a declivity above which the foothills of the Wahsatch Mountains rise. In the View his house is nearly in the centre, surmounted by a small square tower with a golden beehive on the top, the emblem of the city. In this building, which is of timber, his first wife and family reside. The low building on the left contains the offices of the church. Next on the left, the principal object in the picture, is the Zion House, where the remainder of his wives reside. Some say there are twenty of these spiritual wives, others say sixty-one, one for each year of his life. A smaller (round) tower to the left of the turret on the house surmounts the schoolhouse...The white house on the right of Brighams was the first erected for him in Salt Lake City, and is now the home of his eldest son and designated successor, Joseph Young. The buildings on the extreme left...are garden houses, offices, and residences of some of the wives. A wall of earth and stones incloses a large piece of ground, and surrounds Youngs and Kimballs premises and gardens. In the lower right corner is a portion of the residence of Bishop Wells. From "Illustrated London News", 1861.
