The cornerstone was placed on April 6, 1853. It took 40 years to build. Dedicated 133 years ago today, on April 6. 1893.
A lot has changed over the years, not only the inside of the Salt Lake temple but to the overall beauty of Temple Square.
Gone are many of the mature trees, lush grass, intimate courtyards, and vibrant gardens. In their place are expansive concrete plazas, paved walkways, and large, modern white buildings that some find somewhat stark or plastic-like in appearance.

At least some things never change in their beauty. God's Creation. Some photos taken a few weeks ago on the Equinox. Photos of The Sunrise, The Sunset and The Evening moon in the night sky on the Spring Equinox 2026.

I think what has been done to the temple and temple square is a travesty and looks terrible. The pioneers must be rolling over in their graves.
We were taught years ago that the Salt Lake Temple would never fall or be destroyed or something similar to that. They have destroyed the Temple themselves
