Additional Details:
This structure, originally holding double gate's formed part of the unique cobblestone wall around the property of Brigham Young. For several years it has been preserved as a land mark having been reconstructed of cut stone. The Eagle, originally of carved wood, has been sheathed with copper, in order that it may withstand the elements. It has no special significance for the Mormons, except that they are always glad to see the outspread and protecting wings of our noble bird of freedom. The Eagle Gate strands at the head of the longest straight street in the world.
