No matter what religion you are this place is amazing, and even more so during the holiday season. Construction of the temple began on February 14, 1853, a granite deposit was found in Little Cottonwood Canyon, and workers started to hand-chisel massive granite blocks which weighed between 2,500 and 5,600 pounds. They were transported by ox-drawn wagon. You can still see left over granite piles off to the side of the road, I see them everyday as I drive to work. It took over 40 years for the temple to be built.
