MormonTimes.com: Worthy of a second look
Often overshadowed, hall has rich history
Constructed mostly with cast-off stone from the building of the Salt Lake Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Assembly Hall was officially dedicated in 1882.
Although the Assembly Hall's granite rock came from the same quarry in Little Cottonwood Canyon as the granite for the Salt Lake Temple, its stones were not cut as precisely as those for the temple. Hence, the Assembly Hall has a rougher and darker texture with greater spacing between blocks.
