Description:

Pencil drawing showing proposed development on the temple block in Salt Lake City. The temple and tabernacle are shown, along with a square bell tower structure between them. Formal walkways, flower gardens or fountains, and tree plantings are also shown. There are numerous erasure abrasions on the portion of the drawing where the temple and tabernacle buildings are drawn, indicating that the style, size, and placement of the two buildings may have still been in question. It is clear that the temple design was also unsettled. A waterway has been drawn running east and west through the block. This could represent a branch of City Creek. Labeling on the drawing bears strong similarity to the writing style of William H. Folsom who served as Church Architect from October 1861 to April 1867.
