Plate 45.—The Logan Temple
This, the most northerly of the Houses of the Lord in Utah, is situated at Logan, Cache county. Excavation work preparatory to laying the foundation was begun in 1877; corner stones were laid in September of the same year; and the Temple was dedicated to sacred service in May, 1884.
The building is one hundred and seventy-one feet long, ninety-five feet wide, and eighty-six feet high to the square; the east tower is one hundred and seventy feet high. The walls are of dark colored silicious limestone, with trimmings of lighter tint. There are five full stories within which are found rooms corresponding to all the essential apartments, both for general and ceremonial purposes, as described in detail in connection with the Temple in Salt Lake City.
The secondary building, corresponding to the Annex, at first known as the Extension, was built before the main structure; it is eighty feet by thirty-six and lies north of the Temple.
