Utah State Prison, 1913. Part of the Historic Buildings Collection. Historical BackgroundThis postcard is the State Prison of Utah located in Salt Lake City. The second state prison, the first to be made of a building instead of pits in the ground with bars overhead. Pictured is the front entrance to the facility without the main walls surrounding the prison. The Utah Territory built its first prison on the site in 1854, just southeast of the city limits. Brigham Young himself chose the prison site, which was six miles from the city center in October of 1853. This site had been known as "The Big Field Survey." A stone wall around the prison finally came in 1885, when a new cell house — with a capacity of 200 inmates — was also constructed. However, it lacked running water, and buckets were given to each prisoner. Today the location of the prison is Sugar House Park. The building has since been torn down after the opening of the new state prison in 1951, further from downtown Salt Lake. The building was taken apart, mostly stone by stone, after 1951. =====Description Information===== Postcard title: Utah State Prison, 1913. Printed text: State Prison, Salt Lake City, Utah.
