The authors traveled several areas of Utah becoming immersed in the culture, history, and aesthetic value of various examples of Mormon Church architecture. Hill photographed the structures and Wood attempted to classify, capture, and fix those buildings which seemed to be a unique mixture of history, geography, and art. Their most exciting discovery was the Coalville Tabernacle, almost a hundred years old, a 'somewhat Victorian-Gothic structure with stained glass windows replete with Mormon motifs, a lavishly painted ceiling chased with ornamental designs, and scrollwork featuring commanding portraits of Hyrum Smith, Brigham Young, Wilford Woodruff, and John Taylor.'
