Buildings and monuments in Salt Lake City (Tatsuno_012)

Color silent amateur films by Dave Tatsuno (1913-2006), a businessman in the San Francisco Bay area. Composed largely of home movie clips, taken 1942-1945, of the environment the Japanese Americans lived in during World War II in forced exclusion at the Topaz concentration camp near Delta, Utah.

This segment (01:31) shows footage of Salt Lake City, Utah; views of the Salt Lake City and County Building clock tower; monuments at Temple Square, including the Mormon Temple, the domed Tabernacle, and a log cabin (possibly the Deuel Pioneer Log Home?); the Hotel Utah; and the Utah State Capitol.
