Assembly Hall - 166th Annual Stake Conference of the Salt Lake Stake
Apparently "we" do not fit in the Stake Center for Stake Conference, so the morning session is held at the nearby Assembly Hall. I did not count the steps, but it is just across the street from our condo.
The Assembly Hall sits on the southwest corner of Temple Square. It is a Victorian Gothic-style building with stained glass windows constructed between 1878-1882. It is made of granite that was discarded from the temple building process. Historically, it has been used for musical and artistic performances and religious meetings. Presently there are free weekend concerts featuring local and international artists.
It seats 1,400 people. There are 24 spires. It has a 3,489 pipe organ. The total cost in 1882 was $90,000. The Seagull Monument sits directly in front.
