My room mate Shaya and I's friends came into town this past weekend. So we took them to Salt Lake and Showed them around Temple Square and downtown Salt Lake. It was a lot of fun. On our way back to the car we passed this really big beautiful house. We thought someone lived there, and one of our friends went running up the stairs to get a better look ( we all got nerves that someone would come out and get mad for him being on their property lol) Well turns out that this house is the first mansion to ever go up in Salt Lake City UT. Its called the McCune Mansion. The McCunes were millionaries in the 1900's. The house was built in 1901. Then the McCunes moved to LA and donated the mansion to the LDS music school. In 2007 the house was worth 22.5 million dollars, now its more. Crazy. They do weddings there now and it is sosososo beautiful. I would actually consider getting married in UT if thats where i got to have my reception lol. By the way this house is 5 stories. Some man came out and asked if he could help up then offered to take us on a tour, it was way nice of him, considering normally people pay to take this tour.
