The museum building was originally ordered to be built by Brigham Young to serve as Utah’s capitol building in the newly appointed U.S. territory -- Young, who was the second president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and founded Salt Lake City, also served as the Utah Territory's first governor.
