If you haven’t figured out yet, I’m a Mormon, a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and I love architecture particularly religious architecture. To me one of the most sacred places on earth is the temple, … Continued

A visit to a soon to be lost architectural treasure

by kevinearl | posted in: Adventure, Architecture, Historic Site, Photography | 5

As I mentioned at the end of my post about Taliesin West, in forty years there hasn’t been a Frank Lloyd Wright building intentionally demolished, but that could change soon if the David and Gladys Wright house is not saved. … Continued

The Best of Salt Lake Kevin is a wonderful guide. He has knowledge of the area and history. Most important he has the ability to relate the information. To top it off, he is an accomplished author and illustrator of children's books. When visiting this unique city Kevin is the man to show you around.

Great informational tour of downtown Salt Lake City My brother and I wanted to learn more about the city we live in and Kevin's Historic Houses of Worship tour was an excellent choice. He gave us an overview of some of the churches we've only seen in passing; he has an obvious passion and interest in the old buildings in downtown Salt Lake City and their place in our history. Highly recommended tour.

Salt Lake City Historic Houses of Worship Walking Tour We did the "Salt Lake City Historic Houses of Worship Walking Tour" Jan. 29. The thing I found most interesting (since I have lived in SLC all my life) is how early and how many other religions were here in the early part of the state. We often think of Utah as just a "Mormon" state. Enjoyed the ones we were able to go inside and see the beautiful stained glass. Kevin knew lots of the interesting facts about the different religions.
