The Beehive House is one of the official residences of Brigham Young, the early leader of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). The Beehive House gets its name from a honeycomb statue above the house.

The Beehive Nest House was built in 1854, two years before the neighboring Lion Building was built (also Young's residence). The two houses are one block east of the Salt Lake Temple and Temple Square on South Temple Street in Salt Lake City, Utah. The house was designed by the younger brother-in-law and architect of the Salt Lake Temple, Truman O. Angell, who also designed the Lion House. It was built of brick and sandstone.
Young is a polygamist, and Honeycomb House is designed to accommodate his extended family. The Lion House also became his official residence as governor of the Utah Territory and president of the LDS Church. Upon completion, Young briefly split the Beehive Honey House with his senior (and only legally recognized) wife Mary Ann Angell (1803-1882), though she chose to make it home in the White House, a smaller residence on the property. Young's first polygamous wife, Lucy Ann Decker Young (1822-1890), presumably because of her seniority, became mistress of Rumah Rumah Sial and lived there with her nine children.
The Beehive House served as the executive mansion of the Utah Territory from 1852 to 1855 and where Young entertained the guests. This house is connected by a suite of rooms to the Lion House. This suite included Young's office and his private room where he died in 1877.

After Young's Death
After Young's death, there were many disputes and some litigation by Young's heirs about Young's property and what the church property is. The Beehive House is one of the properties in the dispute; although the title was eventually awarded to Young's heir. The Beehive House was replaced as an executive luxury home by many Gardo House, which at that time was occupied briefly by the religious successors of Young John Taylor and Wilford Woodruff.
Beginning in the late 1880s, Young's son, John W. Young, added a large Victorian-style addition to the rear of the building, and greatly renovated the older part of the house. Although the Young family lost home, when it was sold at auction in 1893 to meet the debt held by John W. Young. John Beck, a successful miner and entrepreneur, stayed home for a short time before being sold to satisfy his creditors. Eventually it was bought by the Church, and used as the official home of church presidents Lorenzo Snow and his successor Joseph F. Smith, both of whom died in the big house. Smith, who died in 1918, was the last church president to practice polygamy at the time of his death and share his four-wife residence.
Boarding House
In 1920, the Young Women Mutual Repair Association of the LDS Church opened the Beehive Home as a boarding house for single women working in Salt Lake City, many of whom worked as secretaries in buildings adjacent to the LDS Church headquarters complex. It continued to operate as a boarding house until the 1950s.
Recovery
The building was restored in 1959-60 under the direction of Georgius Y. Cannon, the grandson of Brigham Young. Now a museum of historic homes with period furnishings (many original to house) to describe the life of young families in the mid-19th century. Daily tours are given by Church missionaries for free.
