Brigham Young’s Office

Erected about 1852, this building served as the executive offices of the Territory of Utah until 1855 and as the headquarters of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from the time it was finished until 1917, when the new church office building was completed. For a short time it also served as the Church tithing office, and many distinguished persons were entertained here. The presidents of the Church who occupied these offices were Brigham Young from 1852 to 1877, John Taylor from 1877 to 1887, Wilford Woodrull from 1887 to 1898, Lorenzo Snow from 1898 to 1901, and Joseph F. Smith from 1901 to 1917.
