Third Floor of Brigham Young's home?

[Dossice]

I took a tour of Brigham Young's home in downtown SLC a week ago, and the Sister Missionaries paused at the landing that divides into the 3rd story stairs and (I think?) another room, but failed to mention what was on the 3rd floor before continuing on with the tour. The landing I'm talking about is the one with the window in which Brigham's children would watch for visitors coming in, and his daughter, especially, for her "Prince." Anyone know what's up there or was taken up there on a tour? I've heard rumors that's where he kept his wives, but who knows?

Thanks so much! I was really disappointed when they didn't include that in the tour!

Hemi, Brigham's bed looks much wider than it is long and the length looks diminutive. Is it the camera angle or did 19th Century folks sleep folded?

Maybe it was plenty long and he slept in it with about 6 wives? The camera lens it was shot with does look like it's distorting the picture though.

Wow. The Amelia Palace looks much like the Carson Mansion in Eureka. The Ingomar Club, Eureka, California

Aha, anyone watch the Seinfeld episode when Kramer houses the Japanese business men in a wardrobe? Thanks to the distortion in this picture, I can almost imagine a few wives simularly tucked away below that window seat on the far right.
