About this postcard

Snow-covered trees and shrubs frame the Salt Lake Temple, whose six granite spires rise against a pale winter sky, in the grounds of Temple Square. The temple was begun in 1853 and dedicated in 1893, and its grounds in downtown Salt Lake City remain the centerpiece of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The view is a typical mid-century linen-textured scenic of the temple in snow.

7237. Winter scene in Temple Grounds, Salt Lake City, Utah --- WINTER SCENE IN TEMPLE GROUNDS The Salt Lake Temple is by far the most expensive and pretentious building ever erected by the Mormons. Its completion involved forty years of labor and sacrifice. The corner stone of the building was laid by Brigham Young, April 6, 1853, and it was completed in 1893 at a cost of nearly four millions of dollars. This is a beautiful scene of the Temple in winter.
