Gardo House, Historical mansion in Salt Lake City, United States.

The four-level Second Empire residence featured refined architectural details, grand entertaining spaces, and carefully selected interior furnishings throughout its forty rooms.

Construction of the mansion began in 1873 under Brigham Young's direction, serving as an official residence for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints presidents.

The residence functioned as a central gathering place for Salt Lake City society, hosting numerous meetings between church leaders and visiting dignitaries.

The former location of Gardo House at 60 East South Temple Street now contains markers detailing the history of this significant architectural landmark.

Oscar Wilde visited the mansion in 1882, expressing admiration for its artistic elements during his tour of the property.
