Contruction began just four days after entering the Salt Lake Valley when Brigham Young declared, "Here we will build the temple of our God." Six years later construction began in 1853. They carried loads of granite by wagon pulled by oxen 20 miles away from Little Cottonwood Canyon that took fours days to travel. The monument edifice, surmounted by six spires took 40 years to complete. The walls are nine feet thick at the ground level and narrow to six feet thick at the top. The east center tower is 210 feet high and is topped by the statue of an angel heralding the restoration to the earth of the gospel of Jesus Christ in the latter days. It was dedicated in 1893. It is closed to the public. It is reserved for Mormons only for baptisms and marriages, which is considered there most sacred place. Leave a Comment

So what if you aren’t Mormon I am not and I still enjoyed this stunning piece of architecture. The second you step onto the lot where this beautiful building lay you will feel as if you are in another world. Take a Mormon history tour, and find out a bit about the city you are visiting.
