I have heard stories about this house ever since I was little. Here are a couple pics and the story about it.

 

The Deveraux Mansion:

There has been sightings of an eight year old little girl who you can see in the upstairs window. People say you can hear her humming, singing, or even talking to herself sometimes. Others say that she can be seen in pictures taken by visitors and they say she looks like pictures on the walls that were taken in the 1850's. They say that when she gets mad she throws things on the ground and she even shuts doors when they are left open. Workers say they feel cold spots sometimes when they walk in certain places.

I think you can tour it, but Im not sure. I know the state funded the renovation so I think that they do some tours to help pay for it. I have been trying to find more info about it but I havent found any so far.

We have a house like that by my parents. I have gone and toured it a few times and I felt really unwelcome inside. It's just so cool to see what it looks like inside, I love old houses.

I bet theres a really pretty backyard. That would be a neat place to have a wedding as long as the little girl upstairs doesn't show up!

Yeah, a day reception would be better than at night. I cant really find any history on the house on the internet. It gets kind of confusing because it has gone by a few names. It was also known as the McCune Mansion.

Here is something else about it I just found.

History: Alfred W. McCune built the mansion for his family in 1900 after amassing his fortune in railroads, mining, and timber enterprises. Alfred and his wife, Elizabeth, chose the promising architect, S.C. Dallas, to design the home.

Interior details include the very finest materials, such as Utah onyx and Nubian marble. The exterior was built of native Utah sandstone and topped with tiles made in the Netherlands.

After raising their family, the McCune's moved to Los Angeles in 1920, leaving the mansion to the L.D.S. church. It was used to house the McCune School of Music until 1958 as part of Brigham Young University. The mansion was purchased by McCune Associates in 1973.

Tours of the McCune Mansion must be arranged at least two weeks in advance of your desired tour date and cost $1.00 per person. Groups of 10- 25 people can be accommodated.

Haunting: The house is most likely haunted by a poltergeist or noisy spirit. There have been reports of moving objects, banging doors, foot steps, and cold spots. The interior lights turn off and on, when no one is inside the house.

Here is more:

DESCRIPTION:

This 21 room, 3 floored Richardsonian, shingle style "bungalow" was one of the first of the gloriously expensive mansions built in Salt Lake City, signaling the city's transformation from being a Mormon village to a modern city. The mansion itself was built with a really dark brick on a brownstone base, trimmed with Nugget Sandstone taken from either Red Butte Canyon or Emigration Canyon. The mansion also had running water, a conical turret and oval portico, complete with wrought iron ornaments.

The materials used were of the very best. Onyx and Nubian marble were used inside the mansion. Beautiful woods, such as walnut, oak, mahogany and cherry were the building materials used, crafted in such a way as to bring art and class to the decorum of the mansion.

The roof was made of red-roof, handmade tiles imported from Holland, at the cost of 7,000 dollars. Spare tiles were stored in the basement, which the current owner used to repair the roof in 1999, when he bought the place.

3rd Floor Ballroom - Described as splendid, with huge mirrors, balconies and alcoves made of "exquisite woods", with seats surrounding the pillars. There are 4 impressive alcoves, and mirrors are on every wall. A German craftsman spent 8 months making the furnishings from an artificial marble, known as sageola.

Hidden inside the grand staircase, there was a small room where musicians played for the many parties and special occasions which were hosted by Elizabeth and Alfred. Their guests could hear the music but didn't know where it was coming from.

Sorry If this is too much but here is more about the spirits they think reside here. Along with a few pics of the inside and the people who built the house.

MANIFESTATIONS:

2 seen entities reside here, and perhaps a few more unknown ones.

* The earliest manifestation was heard soon after the music school moved into the mansion. Organ music and other drawing room music was heard coming from the mansion when no one was there.

* The living throughout the years have heard voices, when no one alive was present.

* Doors open and close at will. Doors which were locked, are found unlocked. Unlocked doors are found locked, even when they have no lock mechanism.

* Cold spots are felt around the mansion.

* Like entities everywhere, the spirits who call this place home get their chuckles playing with the lights.

Could this male entity be Mr. Alfred McCune?

* Some entity was so pleased and excited that the McCarthey family was celebrating an extended family Christmas in the mansion, the first time since 1919, the lights of the ballroom kept popping on, despite the efforts of Phil McCarthey and his family. Phil verbally acknowledged defeat, and the lights flickered a little and then popped back on. An Electrician told him the day after Christmas that there was a light switch two floors down in one of the rooms, which no one in the McCarthey family knew about. (tribstory2001)

* A curious, gentile male entity dressed in a black cape has appeared to visitors when the visitor is alone in a room

For Example: A son of Phil McCarthey told his dad that a calm, non-threatening man dressed in a black cape appeared, watched him and then disappeared.
Entity of a 10 year old Girl - The only clue to who she was is that she strongly resembles the little girl in the portrait still hanging on the wall in the mansion.

* An apparition of a little girl wearing a gown is seen walking into and out of the mirror which hangs on the West wall of the mansion on the first floor.

* Her foot prints are found in several rooms, which start in the middle of each room and end in the middle as well.

* She likes to attend weddings and receptions held in the mansion. Her presence has been caught visually on film.

* Like a creative little girl, she can't help but play and reorganize items in unique ways, which were already prearranged professionally for the wedding and reception planned for the next day.

Still Haunted?

Yes indeed!

Entities love the restored mansion, and approve of the McCarthey family and of the fact that weddings, receptions, special events are held in the mansion, as it was when the McCunes and the Mormon Church owned the property.

Wow that seems like a really neat place! I donno if I would wanna go inside tho lol

I went to the George Eastman house when i was a kid and i remember standing at the foot of the stairs and I wont go upstairs, I tried but I just couldn't make myself. My family went back the next day to take another tour cuz they didn't see it all the first day. I wont take more then a few steps inside lol My mom asked the guard at the front if anything happened inside. he told her that George Eastman committed suicide upstairs and at night the Billiards table plays games with no one around. Gotta trust your gut instinct! haha
