The Prophet's Residence (Eagle Gate apt.)

[scottie]

Any guesses on how big that apartment is? I would think the residence covers the entire top floor since the bulletproof glass wraps around the full perimeter. My guess is 16,000 sq ft. (my guess is the other floors have 16 units/floor, 1,000 sq ft each). That's huge.

Also, has TSM moved in to it? I read awhile ago that it was going thru a remodeling and that he hadn't made the move yet.

Just think how much you could accomplish if you dedicated your mind to Good.

I know, and I was just kidding. Except you do seem to be wondering about this sort of stuff more often than not. My guess is that its just the baseball off season that's getting to you.

I read in Trib that just after Tom became prophet he elected to live in his home in Holladay. Has to have security cautions as I am sure people would go all hours of day and night to pay him a visit.

SWK had people stop by his home n downtonw Salt Lake all the time. His next door neighbor always visited him in the yard until neighobrs wife got on his case about the prophets need for privacy. 10 days later Spencer showed up at door with cookies and apologized to Sam for what ever he did to urinate Sam off. I guess visits continued.

When SWK got sick went to Hotel Utah. As far as I know Tom will live in his home as long as he can though since the church bought the eagle gate apartments they have a place reserved for prophet. have too for security reasons.

ETB and JFS lived there as apostles and ETB lived temporarily in Eagle Gate Apartment until it was made into the JSM. I wrote an aritcle on Wikipedia about eagle gate apartment. To rent well out of my budget.

Is this your article? It sounds very stylistically like you. Plus, it follows your outline above:

Salt lake eagle gate apartments
Is an apartment complex located north of temple square presently owned by the real estate properties of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day saints. They have hosued several lds church leaders. At present an apartment is reserved for the President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day saints though President Monson the current prophet has elected to live in his resedential home in a Salt Lake city suburb.
By revelation when Joseph Smith settled in Nauvoo a house was to be built for him and his family to reside in. Emma did not go west with the saints and did live out her life in the house with husband Lewis Bidamen.
Brigham Young lived in the Lion house as did several of his subsequent succesors as it was built for the prophet. Later on though most prophets lived in there own homes they purchased in residential Salt Lake City. Then in the latter years of the presidencies when health prohibited much interaction many moved to Hotel Utah now the Joseph Smith Memorial building. DAvid O McKay lived there his last years his family paid for it.
Joseph Fielding Smith moved in with his daughter Amelia Smith McConkie after his third wife Jessies death he lived in Eagle Gate apartments. Harold B Lee was living at home when he passed away.
Do to increased security and Spencer W Kimballs poor health he was moved to HOtel Utah the church provided the space. Ezra Taft Benson also briefly lived there. During the Benson administration the church purchased the Eagle
Gate apartments and made it so there would always be a room for the prophet to live in. This was necessary for reasons of security and privacy as many people would flock to his home in a residental area. Ezra Taft Benson, Howard W Hunter and Gordon B Hinckley all lived in those apartments. upon Monsons incumbency a place was offered for him but he has elected to live in his home in Holladay with some security attached to his home.

I expect this thread to morph into one revealing little-known facts about about Joseph Smith's depredations in connection with the Mansion House in Nauvoo. SU will be here eventually.
