Over nearly two hundred years, Mormonism has evolved and adapted in many ways, architecture among them. In this book, hundreds of sketches and blueprints unfold history from an architect's point of view. This volume takes readers on a visual journey from the Peter Whitmer log home, where the Church was organized, to the Kirtland and Nauvoo temples, moving on to pioneer-era meetinghouses and tabernacles, and then featuring modern stake and ward buildings. Hundreds of sketches trace the progression in meetinghouse design from the infancy of the church to its transformation into a major world religion.
