Spanning State Street near Temple Square, this structure once marked the entrance to Brigham Young's estate. Although it's been reworked through the years to accommodate wider streets, the gateway is still a landmark in the area. Nowadays, a massive bronze eagle weighing several tons and boasting a 20-foot wingspan tops the structure. The original eagle, a much smaller sculpture carved from wood, is now housed at the Daughters of Utah Pioneers Museum at 300 North Main Street.
