Postcard 1962 Temple Square Salt Lake City Utah LDS Tabernacle Chrome

Salt Lake City, Utah, USA1962ChromeGood

Rising in Gothic grandeur above Temple Square's leafy grounds, the Salt Lake Temple's six spires pierce a bright Utah sky while the distinctive domed Tabernacle — home to the world-famous Mormon Tabernacle Choir and its extraordinary organ — nestles just to the left in this sweeping aerial chrome view. Temple Square, the spiritual and architectural heart of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, drew millions of visitors annually in the postwar decades, and this card captures the campus at its mid-century prime. An unnamed traveler writing to their friend back in Pittsburgh describes attending a noon organ recital inside the Tabernacle: "it was beautiful," they gush, promising to be home in two weeks. Postmarked Minneapolis, August 2, 1962 — likely a cross-country summer road trip souvenir.
