EAGLE GATE,
LOOKING TOWARDS STATE CAPITOL
This structure, originally holding double
gates, formed part of the unique cobblestone
wall around the property of Brigham Young.
For several years it has been preserved as a =
landmark, having been reconstructed of cut
stone. The Eagle, originally of carved wood,
has been sheathed with copper, in order that
it may withstand the elements. It has no
special significance to the Mormons, except
that they are always glad to see the out-
spread and protecting wings of our noble bird
of freedom. The Eagle Gate stands at the
head of the longest straight street in the
world. Ensigne Peak is seen in the distance
on the left.
