 The home of Brigham Young |
67 East South Temple Salt Lake City, UT 84111 United States +1 801 240 2672 |
Brigham Young, president of the Mormon Church and governor of the Utah territory, lived in this genteel home with his dozen children from 1854 until his death. Today, the house is restored with period furnishings and open to the public for tours. Named after the beehive, the state symbol signifying thrift and industry, the house stands in vivid contrast to the 300-square-foot cabin once occupied by the "prosperous" Deuel family and now displayed just two blocks west near the Museum of Church History and Art. Guided tours begin every ten minutes and are free. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 The city's favorite theatre |
50 West 200 South Salt Lake City, UT 84101 United States +1 801 323 6800 / +1 801 355 2787 |
This venerable theatre was built in 1913 to accommodate the steady stream of vaudevillians that poured into the city off the growing rail lines. Since that time, the theatre has been host to silent movies, talking pictures, musical reviews, and now serves as the city's favorite venue for stage productions. Home to Ballet West and the Utah Opera Company, the house hosts a variety of shows, including nationally touring muscial and stage productions. Call ahead to see what is playing and to purchase tickets. Call for showtimes. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A downtown architectural gem |
331 East South Temple Salt Lake City, UT 84111 United States +1 801 328 8941 |
This Roman Catholic cathedral stands majestically near the avenues in Salt Lake City. The building was renovated in 1990. The Romanesque facade, with gargoyles and stained glass, invites visitors to enter its Gothic Revival chambers within. The Eccles organ welcomes all with its reeds and diapasons booming their robust tones. The clergy holds Mass regularly. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Park City's oldest theatre |
328 Main Street Salt Lake City, UT 84060 United States +1 435 649 9371 http://www.egyptiantheatrecomp... |
This local favorite re-opened in 1926 to accommodate the traveling vaudevillians popular at the time. Since its debut, the stage has hosted melodramas, silent and sound movies, and stage performances. Today, the 266-seat house plays home to the Egyptian Theatre Company, which produces a wide selection of high quality professional shows from Broadway and off- Broadway, and the ever-popular Sundance Film Festival. This Actors Equity House sells out fast - so call ahead to see what is playing and order your tickets! See the website for more information. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Shop the Old West |
Main Street Salt Lake City, UT 84060 United States +1 435 649 6104 (Tourist Information) |
This 19th century thoroughfare has been a premier shopping area since merchants set up shops catering to the town's founding miners. Shops, restaurants, bars and recreational service providers crowd into the old wooden building that line both sides of the street. Specialty shops range from Tiff's to Hay Charlie, and restaurants range from the trendy Zoom to the hopping Wasatch Brew Pub. Park City's nightlife is also centered here, with the Egyptian Theatre performances and an array of club action. The shop hours vary. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A historical look at Park City |
528 Main Street Salt Lake City, UT 84060 United States +1 435 649 6100 / +1 435 453 1360 |
Located on Historical Main Street in the old City Hall Building, this small museum offers an outstanding display documenting the city's past. Here, guests see life-sized mock-ups of a pioneer carriage, a local mine shaft and a radio booth before heading downstairs to see the stark, damp cells of the old city jail. Visitors should be sure to examine the informative historical panorama describing Park City fires and should stock up on brochures and other printed information before exiting.

Favorite Salt Lake City landmark |
451 South State Street Salt Lake City, UT 84101 United States +1 801 533 0858 |
Built between the years of 1891 and 1894, the structure offers the state's most exquisite sample of Richardsonian Romanesque architecture. Observant visitors will note the detailed depictions of Utah history carved above doorways in bas-relief and the faces of pioneer women sculpted atop the building's columns. Today, the building remains home to a mix of city and county offices, and the surrounding grounds are a perfect place to picnic. Guided tours are available on a limited basis. Call ahead to check the schedule. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Renaissance revival architectural gem |
300 North State Street (on Capitol Hill) Salt Lake City, UT 84114 United States |
Utah's capitol building cost what was considered the amazing sum of USD2.7 million dollars to construct. Its rotunda reaches 165 feet and presides over an interior of marble noted for its light color and design. Massive Ionic columns, each carved from a single piece of marble, are thought to be the largest solid marble columns in the United States. Epic paintings around the arches and the rotunda represent Brigham Young and the Mormon pioneers. No admission fee. Review © 2007, Wcities |
