A beautiful Chateauesque exterior, a stunning interior, and the dramatic story of the Kearns family make the historic Kearns Mansion one of Utah 's architectural treasures. Now see it in all it's decorated glory at Christmas-time.  Thomas Kearns made a fortune on the silver flowing out of Park City mines. He spared no expense building a home that became the dazzling center of Utah 's elite social life. A world-class restoration completed in 1996 returned the mansion to its original 1902 appearance. Glimpse the gold-leafed dome, see Teddy Roosevelt's hat rack, and ponder the mystery of the four medallions on a 45-minute guided tour of the Kearns Mansion 's first floor.
