"In 1873 Brigham Young realized the years of heavy physical toil and the stress of even heavier mental burdens began catching up with him. He knew that for his own sake and for the sake of his people, he must begin taking care of himself. The one thing he dreaded most of all was the cold winters. He was New England born and bred and had been a resident of Salt Lake City for most of his mature life, which should have inured him to the cold, but it hadn't. But Brigham knew that he would not find contentment in his winter sojourn if he could not be accompanied by his young wife, Amelia Folsom. He called in his architect, Miles Romney, to build a comfortable house worthy of Amelia." [p. 30] East of the home was a small, one-room structure. Here, Brother Brigham had his office and his private telegraph equipment." [p. 31]
