My grandfather is Don Carlos Young Jr. (1882-1960), son of Joseph Don Carlos Young and grandson of Brigham Young. He was the architect for the home. I have attached photographs of the exterior of the home, including the last remaining tree from his orchard and the original stone pathway. I did not take pictures of the interior. I believe that this home was built in 1923, and he and his family lived in it from 1923 to about 1958. Even though he worked in Salt Lake City, he moved to Holladay to what was farm country to help his wife who always had poor health . Don Carlos and his father were the architects for the old church office building on south temple. He was the architect for the Mesa temple, the federal reserve bank across from the Beehive House, the Washington DC Chapel, among many other buildings. He did the restoration of the Beehive House. Upon sitting in the long hall in Brigham Youing's home after it's restoration, he was near death from liver cancer. He said, "1 will have to tell grandfather how lovely it is." His burial instructions were to have a large granite stone as a head stone with only his signature on it. (He had beautiful handwriting.) Marti Bradley has written about his designing a distinctive style of ward meeting house when he served as church architect. He was an architect that relished the neoclassical style. You see it in his home. But his style was always understated and with interesting detail. For example, in the Mesa Temple, he has a neoclassical exterior, with carvings on the four corners of peoples from the four corners of the earth. The interior of the temple contained a neoclassical balance, but with a surprise. As you enter the temple you are confronted with a straight stair case rising up from the first floor to the ceiling, after the fashion of a Mayan temple. As you reach each floor, you can exit the main stairs to enter rooms either on the right or the left. This was to be a temple for the Lamanites. So he fashioned after a Mayan Pyramid . The same quiet surprise is contained in his home, with a pergola with striking detail, and two interior rooms with curved ceilings. But all in all it is quiet and thoughtful , never bombastic. Please call and let me know what we need to do to put this on the national register. The current residents are Mildred and Max McBeth . I live next-door at 1776 Holladay Blvd, Salt Lake City, UT 84124 (801-274-0578). I would like to take you and the McBeth's to lunch . Let me know when you are available. -LWF0001.tif /' ~ - "'f' ~ __ 1-.. . . . ·.
