Seen from the entire valley, the site for the Logan Temple was chosen by Brigham Young and announced on May 17, 1877. The site was referred by the Native Americans as a "most sacred place" where they performed healing ceremonies. Truman O. Angell, Jr. drew up the plans for this edifice along with several other prominent buildings in Utah. When the temple was dedicated in 1884, it was actually painted white but later the paint was removed. Sadly, the LDS Church completely gutted the inside of the building in the '70s and all that remains of the original interior is a small piece of wallpaper in the Bride's Room.
LDS temples are so beautiful, and this one is no exception. Thanks for sharing the picture.
