SALT LAKE CITY
The chief interest of the visitor to Salt Lake City centers about the great Mormon Temple. The "Temple Block' situated in the very heart of the city, is a ten-acre square, surrounded by a stone and adobe wall twelve feet high and three feet thick.
This wall
was designed by Truman O. Angell in 1851. The work of construction was begun in 1853 and was completed in August, 1854. It is constructed of adobe and sandstone, and is regarded as not only one of the best known pioneer land marks of the city, but its lines and its freedom from any ornamental decorations make it impressive and beautiful. It was built to provide employment and as something distinct to mark the block, where sacred buildings should be erected.
Through large gates on each of the four sides the passerby gets glimpses of the beautifully parked grounds.
