Beehive House
When I was a child I loved to see the historical building downtown. When I was assigned to do a documentary on something I choose the Beehive house. It was many phone calls and patience working with the church to have this opportunity, in the end it was all worth it. I loved the architecture and spirit with the history. I focused on the details but photographed many other room as well.
The Beehive House was built in 1854, was the official residence of Brigham Young the second President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and first governor of Utah Territory. The home has been restored to reflect the New England architecture. It has symbolism all through the home Beehive on the woodwork and doors. The Beehive represents industry of the early saints. They made the desert bloom with their hard work.
You can find this historical home downtown Salt Lake on State street and South Temple. The tours are free and great.
