Inside front: General Conference Session, by Joy Gough. The new Conference Center fulfills its purpose during a session of the Church’s 170th Semiannual General Conference, accommodating 21,000 members gathered to hear inspired counsel from General Authorities. Still, when there were more who desired to hear, they spilled over into the 900-seat Conference Center Theater, the Tabernacle and Assembly Hall on Temple Square, and rooms in the nearby Joseph Smith Memorial Building.
Inside back: Millennial Beehive House, by Grant Romney Clawson, oil on canvas, 24″ x 36″, 1999. Erected in 1854, the Beehive House on the corner of South Temple and State Streets in Salt Lake City was originally the home of President Brigham Young. The two rooms on the west (left) served as Church presidential offices until 1918. The house today is a focal point for visitors who want to know more about its remarkable builder and his times.
