Salt Lake,UT - no date - Tabernacle View Carte de Visite :
This CDV by an unknown photographer looks north over the city taking in the Tabernacle, which took workers 3 years to build (1864-1867). The most remarkable thing about the building is the roof, because very few nails were used in its construction. Doe to the scarcity of nails, the builders used wooden pegs and rawhide to bind trusses together. The roof lasted in that form for over a hundred years, only recently having its shingles replaced.
