Temple Motel Manti, Utah 1959 T-Shirt

Dedicated in 1888, the Manti Utah Temple is the fifth temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Located in the town of Manti, Utah, it was the third Latter-day Saint temple built west of the Mississippi River, after the Mormons' trek westward. For those visiting the temple, many motels popped up around the areas, including the Temple Motel. Located in Manti on Highway 89, the motel featured a distinctive mid-century modern design that stood out in the otherwise sleepy Utah town.
