Eagle Gate Monument is an historic arch monument located adjacent to Salt Lake City's Historic Temple Square, originally erected in 1859 at the entrance to LDS Church leader Brigham Young's estate at City Creek Canyon. The 76-foot-wide monument was created by Young's son, architect Don Carlos Young, with a beautiful wooden eagle adornment created by Ralph Ramsay. In the 1960s, Ramsay's eagle was removed from the monument to accommodate the widening of State Street and was replaced by a new eagle designed by George Cannon Young. Visitors can view Ramsay's original eagle on display at Salt Lake City's Daughters of Utah Pioneers Museum.
