Car Rental at 'South Downtown Salt Lake City'

You should not overlook the beautiful Joseph Smith Memorial Building, where there are several rooms that give you an opportunity to plunge deeper into the local culture. There is, for instance, a historic room with a preserved interior of the end of the 19th century. In this room, you will also come across a large white statue of Joseph Smith, the founder of the Mormon Church. There are also some places for your entertainment. Interesting productions, for example, are often staged at the Heritage Theater. If you are looking for a great view, then from the windows of restaurants “The Roof” and “The Garden” you can behold a stunning panorama of the city. In addition, thematic events are often held in the halls of the building, thus attracting people interested in enriching themselves culturally. Initially, there was a hotel situated here, which once received only representatives of the white race (and this rule also applied to well-known personalities). The hotel was built in 1911 in the neo-renaissance style, but in 1987 it ceased its activities in this capacity.

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.
