common brick, and are of gray color. The houses
are mostly one story high and present a comfortable
appearance.
In one of these ten acr.e squares rises up a
remarkable building, oval in shape, and covered with
ote glittering metalic dome two hundred and
seventy-one feet long, one hundred and seventy feet
wide and seventy feet high. This entire area has
not a single inner support; is one unbroken space.
This immense building is the new Tabernacle-the
church. This lot is enclosed by a heavy'wall of
masonry, and is entered on two sides through heavy
double gates, and has but two erections. The other
building in the enclosure is the unfinished Temple.
We also look down upon another walled-in ten
acre lot on the opposite side of the street, where
the autocrat, not of all the Russias, but of all the
chosen "Latterday Saints," resides with his numerous family of both great and small. Here is the
Lion House, so named from having that animal in
bronze over the entrance; also the Beehive House,
(the Mormon emblem of industry.) These are rather
blocks of buildings. In this enclosure, are all the
Church Tithes buildings and the school house of
Brigham Young, no children are permitted to attend
it but his own. Here Brigham Young's ambition
"climbs his little ladder," and Mormon genius
"plumes his half-fledged wings."
