Exterior of the home of Alfred William McCune in Salt Lake City. The home, located on north Main Street, cost $500,000 to build in 1901. McCune was a very successful business man with ventures in railroad and mining. He was a partner in the Peruvian Cerro de Pasco mines along with J. P. Morgan, William Randolph Hearst, and Frederick William Vanderbilt. McCune wanted his home to be extravagant. The McCune home site was chosen to rise up impressively over the nearby streets, and little expense was spared on decoration. McCune had materials shipped from San Domingo, England and South Africa. The red roof tiles came from Holland, and an enormous broad mirror wall was transported from Germany in a specially made railroad car. The walls were adorned with moiré silks, tapestries, and Russian leather. The exterior of the home was built of red Utah sandstone although some details like the lavish fireplaces used more exotic stone like Nubian marble.
