Eagle Gate, Memorial gate and sculpture in downtown Salt Lake City, United States.
The Eagle Gate spans State Street with a bronze eagle sculpture perched on top of an iron arch supported by four stone pillars.
Originally built in 1859 as an entrance to Brigham Young's compound, the gate underwent reconstructions in 1891 and 1963 to accommodate growing traffic needs.
The gate incorporates Utah symbols, including a large bronze eagle with a 20-foot wingspan and decorative five-point stars on the keystone.
Located at the intersection of State Street and South Temple, the Eagle Gate connects the downtown district with residential neighborhoods of Salt Lake City.
The original wooden eagle, created by Ralph Ramsay in 1859, remains preserved at the Pioneer Memorial Museum for public viewing.
