One more point of interest in Salt Lake City that is worthy of mentioning is the unparalleled Cathedral of the Madeleine. The construction of the place of worship was completed in 1909.

One of the few well-preserved estates called Wheeler Historic Farm deserves tourist’s attention. It is a Victorian manor of the end of the 19th century with the interior related to that time. The complex includes agricultural and handicraft buildings, as well as residential buildings. It is framed by an impressive garden with ponds and paths, where you should definitely take a walk. Another notable historic building is the residence of the first governor of Utah, Brigham Young. We are talking about the Beehive House, which was built in 1854. The construction got the name “bee house” due to the well visible statue of the hive (which symbolizes hard work) that is at the very top of the roof. The house is rather large, and the reason for this is legendary. The fact is that, like many Mormons, the first governor was a polygamist.

Built in 1900, the Alfred McCune Mansion is another remarkable building in the capital of Utah. It catches the eye immediately with its stunning architecture. The original owner of the house wanted only one thing: that his house should be so extravagant and unusual that it would immediately speak of his bright personality. He therefore hired the architect, C. C. Dallas, who created for him a masterpiece of eclecticism, mixing elements of Gothic revival with the style of East Asia. Thanks to this decision, today travelers can see the magnificent building and admire it. After 1920, when the first owners left the house, the building was turned into a music school and served this purpose until 1957. Brigham Young University was situated here during the 16 years that followed (1957-1973). Nowadays, from 1997, a cultural center is located here.
