The Beehive House served as Brigham Young’s residence, office, and reception area for official visitors when Young was both president of the LDS Church and Utah's territorial governor. Designed by Young's brother-in-law, Truman O. Angell, who also served as architect for the Lion House and the Salt Lake LDS Temple, the stuccoed adobe house features a two-story veranda, an observatory, and a cupola topped with a beehive. Young's son added a three-story wing to the north when he remodeled the house in 1888, and in the early 1960s the LDS Church restored the Beehive House to resemble its 1888 appearance.
