About this postcard

Night view of the Salt Lake Temple, its six spires floodlit against a deep blue sky, seen through trees from Temple Square with a columned monument in the foreground. The granite temple, begun in 1853 and dedicated in 1893, is the signature building of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; the monument in the foreground is the Sea Gull Monument commemorating the gulls that saved early Mormon crops from crickets. The caption uses the popular "Mormon" Temple name for the building.
