Posted: 9:45 AM- Sometime soon, new LDS Church President Thomas S. Monson likely will move into the church-owned "presidential apartment."
Though church spokesman Scott Trotter declined to say when or whether Monson will move, his three predecessors all lived on the top floor of Gateway Apartments on State Street in Salt Lake City, across from the LDS Administration Building and within a block of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building and the LDS temple.
Monson and his wife, Frances, currently live in a modest home in Holladay, which the couple built about 40 years ago.
But they're unlikely to stay in the house because church security officers would be better able to ensure Monson's safety at the apartment, which also offers easy access to his office through a complex maze of underground tunnels.
The man Mormons believe to be their "prophet, seer and revelator" need never be seen on the street.
