The Salt Lake Temple isn't the only notable piece of religious architecture in the city. Just a few blocks away, the Cathedral of the Madeleine majestically rises over South Temple. My first experience with this building was as a child, performing there on tour with the Texas Boys Choir. As a kid, I didn't appreciate the richly colored murals and spectacular windows, but after experiencing great cathedrals around the world, I can say that Salt Lake's deserves a spot among them. As a college student studying interior design the shadow of the uniquely Utahn First Presbyterian Church of Salt Lake, I truly began to appreciate the city's rich religious architecture and heritage. On this walking tour, we'll visit eight historic houses of worship in downtown Salt Lake City, none of which is home to Utah's predominant religion. I've made arrangements for us to go into some of them, so we can see the beautiful artwork and windows.
We'll meet downtown and make a loop to see eight historic houses of worship including: • First United Methodist Church (1905) • St. Mark's Cathedral (Episcopalian, 1871) • Cathedral of the Madeleine (Catholic, 1909) • First Presbyterian Church of Salt Lake City (1905) • Immanuel Baptist Church (1911), now Anthony's Fine Art and Antiques • Historic B'nai Israel Temple (1891), now a private business office • Iglesia La Luz del Mundo (former First Church of Christ Scientist, 1898) • Saints Peter and Paul Orthodox Christian Church (former Congregation Montefiore Synagogue, 1903) I have connected with the churches and businesses on our tour. Some have graciously agreed to let us go inside. However, this is dependent on their schedules and availability and is not guaranteed. The tour ends where we began. This itinerary can be customized; please message me for more details.
