On the west side of the temple you can see the Big Dipper. This symbolizes the use of the temple for members of the LDS church to help find their way back to heaven, just as the Big Dipper is used to find the North Star.

#2 Salt Lake Temple
I wanted to get this one out of the way quick. It's easily the most famous and recognizable building in Utah. Designed by the renowned architect Truman O. Angell. On April 6, 1853 the cornerstone was laid and the 40 year task of finishing the largest temple in the LDS Church was begun. It was finally completed and dedicated on April 6, 1893.
