The House of the Lord is an informed, comprehensive study of
Christian churches modern and ancient. This superb edition includes
the forty-six original plate illustrations. By cataloging a range
of places of worship in the United States, this manual chronicles
the evolution of architectural styles pioneered in the country. We
see how the Christians of the Midwest gradually gained in ambition
and boldness, constructing larger churches and temples in
successive displays of devotion to the Lord. James E. Talmage used
his own status as a member of the Church of the Latter-day Saints
to receive access to the interiors of several churches he
describes. He photographed the most iconic interior and exterior
rooms, noting the differences in style and form present. This book
was originally published in 1912, and as such may be considered
something of a retrospective on the ascent of Christian belief in
the United States during the 19th century.
