Brigham Young Winter Home and Office, Historic house museum in St. George, United States.
The Brigham Young Winter Home is a two-story adobe brick residence with four fireplaces, an attached office section, and a sandstone chimney designed by the Romney architectural family. The structure merges residential and administrative spaces, reflecting the building practices of early territorial Utah.
The building was constructed in 1871 and served as a winter retreat until 1877 for the second president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Its creation coincided with a period when the settled Mormon community was establishing infrastructure across the territory.
The home displays furnishings and interior details that show how early Mormon leaders lived and worked in 19th-century Utah Territory. The rooms reveal the daily habits and personal choices of those who occupied this space.
The home is located in downtown St. George and is easily reached on foot. Missionary guides lead visitors through each room and explain how the spaces were used and why they mattered to the household.
The office section of the home was instrumental in overseeing the construction of the St. George Temple, a landmark project for the local community. Key decisions that shaped the city's development were made from this location.
