North Visitor's Center

Temple Square continues to undergo a variety of changes as part of the renovation of the Salt Lake City Temple.

This week they started on the tear down of the North Visitor's Center.  It is hard to imagine Temple Square without this building.  It has had a variety of displays and art work which shared the message of the gospel to the visitors on Temple Square since 1963.  The most famous part of the exhibits is the 11-foot replica of Bertel Thorvaldsen"s 'Christus' the original sits in the Church of Our Lady, a Lutheran Church in Copenhagen.

The statue has been removed and is being stored.  It will be placed somewhere on Temple Square, but I don't think I have seen the announcement about where exactly.  The area under this site will become gardens and pathways.  Reports also stated that bathrooms will be placed somewhere to support visitors. 

All of this background for these photos from this week:

I was taking pictures from ground level, but I think some of these people probably got some good photos from their view on top of the Conference Center directly north of the visitor's center--

Historical times to be serving in the Utah Salt Lake City Headquarters Mission!  You never know what you might see next!
