Most of the following comes from https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/provo-tunnels-utah
"...Provo, Utah is known for its local restaurants and public art. But the majority of visitors have no clue that there is a connection of tunnels running underneath them
"Locals and Utah historians have been theorizing about these tunnels for decades.
"The tunnels are believed to run ALL ACROSS Provo, and their existence has inspired many conspiracy theories.
"We DO know however, that the buildings and tunnels on center street were built between 1883-1904.
"The underground tunnels were used as a place to store meat and other perishable food before refrigeration was available.
"Blocks of ice from Utah Lake were kept with the food in the tunnels to keep it cold for as long as possible.
"A SECTION of these tunnels is accessible to the public, inside Provo Town Square on the (northwest) corner of University Avenue and Center Street.
"There are a few staircases in the building(s) that lead downstairs to the tunnels.
"There you can explore murals, small businesses, restaurants, and even a tattoo shop.
"To access the stairs to the tunnels there are a few ways:
"1 - Enter the door at 32 W. Center St. Walk down the hallway (north) and turn left. Then you will find (on the left/south of the hallway) a public stairwell (this stairwell however is now locked most of the time).
"2 - Enter through "The Social" (restaurant). Walk through the Provo Town Square Courtyard, behind (SE of) the multi-levelled parking garage located at 98 N. 100 W. just south of 100 N. There is a large sign to the east that says "The Social", with an arrow pointing to some stairs. Go down the stairs (southward) and enter The Social (to the east).
"You can exit the Social through the first door you see to access the tunnels..."
(or you can by-pass the restaurant altogether by going through the 2nd door just south of the first... and enter directly into the tunnels).
Across Center St. to the south is the Mormon Temple which has its own underground level(s)...
(Note: The Utah County Federal Building is just across the intersection to the NW. Any (underground) connection? Also there is a major hospital about a mile to the north-west of this part of the city).
