Alfred McCune Home

The Alfred McCune Home is a 21 room mansion on Capitol Hill in Salt Lake City, Utah, built between about 1900 and 1901 for railroad magnate and mining investor Alfred W. McCune at a cost of one million dollars. It was designed by architects S. C. Dallas and Henry Monheim in a Gothic Revival plan with East Asian influence, intended as a replica of a house the McCunes had admired on Riverside Drive in New York City; the estate carriage house dates to 1872, earlier than the main house. After the McCunes moved to Los Angeles in 1920, they donated the home to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which used it in turn as a residence, a music school and an educational center before selling it in 1973. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 13, 1974, and now operates as a private event and wedding venue.
