"Learn by Study and by Faith"
The Taylor Building was named after the 3rd President of the Church, whom Joseph Smith referred to as the “Defender of the Faith.” He moved west with the Saints, arriving in the Salt Lake Valley in the fall of 1847. He was again active in civic affairs, serving in the territorial legislature, as a judge, and as territorial superintendent of schools.
