Inscription. Constructed in 1864-65 at 120 East 1st South, this red sandstone building served for nearly 30 years, 1866-1894, as the seat of government. Here the Territorial Legislature met and passed laws establishing free public schools, made appropriations for the first University of Utah buildings, and granted woman suffrage. From its cupola, a 1700 lb. bell sounded fire alarms and curfews while its clock chimed the time of day. In 1961 the structure was removed, stone by stone, and restored to its original likeness through the efforts of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the State of Utah, the Salt Lake City Corporation, and the N.C. Morgan Foundation. Now a Utah State Visitor Center and historic shrine.
Erected 1963 by Daughters of Utah Pioneers. (Marker Number 288.)

| | | 3. State Historical Marker | This additional marker indicates that this location is also on the National Register of Historic Places. The discrepancy between the markers regarding the original location (2nd South vs 1st South) resulted from a change in street numbering that occurred some time between the placement of the two markers.
