BIOGRAPHY OF JOSEPH DON CARLOS YOUNG (1855-1938)

Joseph Don Carlos Young, born May 6, 1855, to Brigham Young and Emily Dow Partridge Smith Young, became one of the first native-born, academically trained architects in Utah. His education started in Brigham Young's family school located just east of the present Eagle Gate. Later, he spent about two years at the University of Deseret. In his journal, he notes that he did not enjoy school very much and preferred to be with the horse teams that hauled ice from the Jordan River.

Brigham Young did not insist that he attend school. Instead, he put him to work with a team of "old blind mules," doing odd jobs, hauling wood, and helping people move. After a year, Carl (the name by which he was known) was given the best team in the barn. His first paying job was for ZCMI, driving the delivery wagon. He worked for ZCMI in many capacities for several years.

In 1873, he and a few of his brothers were given permission to go to school in the East. At this time, Brigham Young said that they could go on the condition that they study all they could in Utah first, and then study engineering in New York. They had to promise to teach others upon their return.

Carl, Alfales, and Feramorz Young, along with William G. Sharp, left for New York in September 1875. Willard Young, another brother, was already at West Point. Carl's destination was Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York. He studied engineering, though his main interest was architecture. While there, he became a member of the Pi Eta Scientific Society, and one of the editors of The Transit, the school yearbook. He graduated in 1879.

In 1881, Carl married Alice Naomi Dowden, with whom he had ten children. At the urging of his mother and her belief in polygamy, he received the consent of Alice and married Marian Penelope Hardy in 1887. They had five children. According to the memory of George Cannon Young in his oral history, the two women got along very well.

In addition to his professional career, Joseph Don Carlos Young was active in civic affairs. In 1886, he was elected to the Utah Legislature, where he served two terms. Also in 1886, he became a member of the University of Deseret Board of Regents.

Young was sustained by the LDS church as church architect in 1889, a position he held until 1893. During that time, he designed the roof and the interior of the Salt Lake Temple, as well as the

Temple Annex. After the temple was dedicated, he continued to work with the church's building department. He designed the Church Administration Building at 47 E. South Temple and many other church buildings.

The buildings designed by Joseph Don Carlos Young include the Mormon tabernacle at Paris, Idaho, the Templeton Building in Salt Lake City, the Brigham Young Academy building in Provo, the race track and coliseum at the Utah State Fairgrounds, and Eagle Gate (1891-1963), on State Street.

Young was called by the LDS church to the Southern States Mission in 1895 and served two years. While there, he was a successful missionary and became a district president. His mission reports are included in this collection.

In 1900, he fulfilled his promise to his father and taught mathematics at Brigham Young Academy. He was there for a year, and after returning to Salt Lake City, he set up the architectural firm of Young and Son. Don Carlos Young, his eldest child, was his partner, but other sons, including George Cannon Young, also worked with their father.

Joseph Don Carlos Young continued to practice architecture for much of his life. He died October 19, 1938, the last surviving son of Brigham Young.

BIOGRAPHY OF GEORGE CANNON YOUNG (1898-1981)

George Cannon Young was born to Joseph Don Carlos and Alice Naomi Dowden Young February 21, 1898, in Provo, Utah, while his father was an instructor at the Brigham Young Academy. He was the ninth of ten children.

"Cann" Young, as he was called, grew up in the avenues area of Salt Lake City. At the time, the neighborhood was sparsely populated, and he and his brothers and sisters did not appreciate "living amongst the sagebrush." He attended LDS High School, and then East High School, where he was yell master. At the age of sixteen, he went to Idaho to work on canal dredging, and later worked in his father's office, Young and Son.

In 1919 he was called by Heber J. Grant, the LDS church president, to the Eastern States Mission. While there, he spent most of his time in New York and neighboring states, serving as branch president in Connecticut. After he returned from his mission, he married Eleanor Saville Wright June 26, 1924, in the Salt Lake Temple. They became the parents of four sons: Kay, Willard, Richard, and George, Jr.

Young continued his activities in the LDS church. From 1950-1962 he was bishop of the West Ensign Ward, and in 1962 was ordained a patriarch, serving in that capacity until his death in 1981.

George Cannon Young started his architectural career early. He first worked for the family firm, Young and Son, then Young and Hansen, Cannon and Mullen, and other firms in Salt Lake City. He was never trained academically, although he did attend the LDS University for a time. When he passed the Utah State Architectural Examination in 1936, he started his own firm.

As an architect, he designed several well-known buildings in Salt Lake City. Most of them were commissions from the LDS church. He spoke to church leaders often about architecture, particularly Temple Square. Some of his more important buildings include Primary Children's Hospital, the Relief Society Building, the Hotel Utah Garage, the North Visitor's Center (Temple Square), the Church Office Building at 50 E. North Temple, and the basement remodeling of the Salt Lake Tabernacle. He also helped restore the Beehive House, Lion House, the Jacob Hamblin Home, and Eagle Gate.

Deseret Architects and Engineers, a collaboration of several small but prominent firms, was organized in 1951. George Cannon Young was one of the principals and served as president for a time. Some of the Salt Lake projects designed by DAE include the Federal Office Building, Glendale Golf Course and Clubhouse, and the Union Pacific Building.

Young was actively involved with the American Institute of Architects on both a local and national level. He was first admitted in 1942, and in 1958 became a fellow in the College of Fellows of the AIA. Also in 1958, he was the director of the Utah Chapter AIA.

George Cannon Young participated frequently in civic affairs. In 1946 he was chairman of the Bushnell Research Hospital Architectural Committee, and in 1960 he was a committee member of the Salt Lake II Century Downtown Planning.

Later in life, he traveled to many parts of the world, touring Russia in 1973, Mexico in 1974, and the Mediterranean in 1975. George Cannon Young made a significant impact on Salt Lake City and its architecture. He died April 9, 1981.

BIOGRAPHY OF RICHARD WRIGHT YOUNG (1931-)

Richard Wright Young was born July 23, 1931, to George Cannon and Eleanor Saville Wright Young, the second of four sons. He grew up in Salt Lake City, and served a mission in Mexico for the LDS church. While there, he gained an appreciation for the people and culture of Mexico. His papers and building designs reflect this interest.

Between 1954-1956 he served with the United States Army Reserve in Europe, which provided him with the opportunity to observe European architecture. Upon his return to Salt Lake, he completed his studies at the University of Utah. He graduated in 1959 with a bachelor of fine arts degree in architecture.

Young married Martha Hammond, ca. 1961, and they became the parents of two sons, Gregory and Steven. He and his wife later divorced.

Young began work in architecture at age sixteen, working for his father until George Cannon Young's death in 1981. Afterwards, he continued his father's practice, but changed the name of the firm to his own.

Young worked with his father and Deseret Architects and Engineers on many important projects, including the LDS Church Office Building at 50 E. North Temple, Primary Children's Hospital, Glendale Golf Course and Clubhouse, and Wasatch State Park Clubhouse. He also designed several residences. Among his drawings in this collection are the Salt Lake City Humane Society and Zions First National Bank. Mr. Young currently works for the Salt Lake City government as the architectural engineer.

Content DescriptionReturn to Top

The Richard Wright Young papers consists of three generations of Utah architects--Joseph Don Carlos Young, George Cannon Young, and Richard Wright Young--a son, grandson, and great-grandson, respectively, of Brigham Young.

The materials span the years 1855-1986 and include correspondence, financial papers, building specifications, books, architectural drawings, and photographs. They are arranged in three main sections: personal papers, books, and architectural drawings. Materials within each section are arranged by architect.

Boxes one through eight contain the personal papers of Joseph Don Carlos Young. Included are biographical and family items, correspondence, personal and professional papers, and miscellaneous materials. Some early territorial legislative materials, dating from the 1850s, have been removed and placed in the library's Rare Books Division.

The next sixty boxes contain the personal papers of George Cannon Young. They begin with the transcripts of his oral interviews (wherein he speaks of his life and profession), followed by his correspondence, personal papers, appointment books, financial and business records, and a large collection of articles related to architecture.

Richard Wright Young's manuscript materials make up the last part of this section and include biographical material, correspondence, personal items, and miscellaneous material.

A large number of books were part of the original collection. Most were processed into the general library holdings, but some were thought to relate directly to the manuscript material, and have been included in the second section.

The architectural drawings make up the third section of the collection. Included are almost 200 projects from the works of Joseph Don Carlos Young, George Cannon Young, Richard Wright Young, and other Utah architects. The drawings are arranged by architect and building type--commercial buildings, institutional buildings, residential buildings, and miscellaneous. The other Utah architects include the firms of Ware and Treganza, J. A. Headlund, Scott and Welch, and Richard Kletting.

The drawings themselves range from watercolor on board and ink on linen, to rough sketches on tracing paper. Due to the poor condition in which the material had been stored, many of the older drawings needed extensive cleaning and repair work. As a result, most of the original information contained on them is still visible. Even so, many of the older drawings are fragile and must be handled with care.

The photographic materials which accompanied the collection have been placed in the Photo/Audio Visual Section of the Manuscripts Division. Included are the pictures of the Young family, buildings designed primarily by George Cannon Young, and several John Wesley Powell stereographs. A copy of the photo register, PO326, is included.

The University of Utah Marriott Library and the LDS Church Historical Department jointly acquired this collection and divided the materials. The papers and drawings which pertained to LDS church buildings went to the LDS Historical Department and the remainder came to the Marriott Library's Manuscripts Division.

Several architectural collections in the Manuscripts Division relate closely to this one. The papers of three other descendants of Brigham Young--Don Carlos Young, Jr., Georgius Young Cannon, and Lorenzo Snow Young--are housed here. Combined, they show the continuing legacy of the Young family's contributions to the growth and development of Salt Lake City.
