This is too fun not to share (with her permission): Keepa’ninny Bessie, who admits to having a little too much time on her hands in the last couple of days, has cut out and put together the building models shown in last week’s Build Your Very Own Salt Lake City, ca. 1941 post, from the Salt Lake Temple down to the greenhouse, from the Social Hall to Primary Children’s Hospital. (She recommends that you not try to do this during a business meeting.)

And then for good measure, she shares two photographs of her mother, Helen Rex Frazier, taken in 1936, posed in front of the Deuel cabin (which now sits on the West Temple plaza between the Family History Library and the Museum of Church History and Art, but which for much of the 20th century stood near the southeast corner of Temple Square, beneath a protective pergola), which is part of our set, and in front of the College building (which is not one of the models in our set, but was one of the buildings of the old Latter-day Saints University facing the temple across Main Street, which once stood between the Smith and Young Memorial Buildings that are included in our set.
