275 x 225 mm. A view looking down on to the expanding town, with the snow-capped Sawatch Mountains in the distance. Having arrived in this barren spot in June 184, Brigham Young surveyed the area, and ordered the city to be built on 10 acre lots, with streets 132 feet wide. In this print, housing can be seen spreading outwards from Temple Square, the centre of the city. The partially completed Temple and the Tabernacle can be seen at the right of the picture (see Y3089C/85).

280 x 224 mm. An interesting photograph of Temple Square before its completion. At the right can be seen the shell of the Temple, built between 1853 and 1893, with granite walls six feet thick and barred to non-believers in the Mormon faith. To its left is the Tabernacle, completed in 1867, with a roof shaped like the upturned hull of a boat. Beyond this are the spires and turrets of the Assembly House.
