The French Renaissance mansion, called the “Kearns Mansion,” was built in 1902 and became the official residence in 1937, according to the state of Utah’s official website. It has 28 rooms including six bathrooms, 10 fireplaces, a ballroom, a billiards room, two dining rooms, and three vaults for wine and other valuables, Deseret News reported.
