The Alfred McCune Home is one of the mansions on Capitol Hill in Salt Lake City, Utah, from around the turn of the 20th century.

Built for Alfred W. McCune on the inclined south side of Capitol Hill at the northeast corner of 200 North Main Street, the mansion has 21 rooms and is on the National Register of Historic Places.

When none was able to get a majority of votes, the election went down in history as the time when Utah was unable to select or send a senator to Washington.

McCune wanted his home to be an extravagant display and to this end he financed a two-year tour of America and Europe for his architect S. C. Dallas to study designs and techniques.

The McCune home site was chosen to rise up impressively over the nearby streets, and little expense was spared on decoration.

The red roof tiles came from the Netherlands, and an enormous broad mirror wall was transported from Germany in a specially made railroad car.

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.

It was used as the McCune School of Music, which ended in 1957 and was replaced by the Brigham Young University Salt Lake City Center, until 1972 when it too was moved into a larger location.
