The card shows the Salt Lake Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, its six granite spires rising above trees with mountains and a sunset sky behind. The temple was begun in 1853 and dedicated in 1893 after forty years of construction, and it remains the best-known landmark of Temple Square in downtown Salt Lake City. The printed caption names it the "Mormon" Temple, the colloquial name by which the building was widely known to visitors.
