Truman O. Angell  |
|||||
| Truman Osborn Angell born in North Providence, Rhode Island, also resided in Kirtland Ohio (1835-37); Missouri (1837-38); Quincy, Illinois (1938-39); Nauvoo, Illinois (ca. 1840-46); and Salt Lake City (1847-87). As the man who knew the most about temple building after William Weeks (q.v.), Angell was the natural choice to assume the responsibility of the official architect's position. For quite some time before he became “Architect of Public Works“ in Great Salt Lake City, he painted a bit as a nonprofessional but rather able landscapist in his spare time. Then, as chief designer of Public Works buildings from May 1850 on, he was involved in various church, civic, school, and domestic construction projects, including the Beehive House and the Salt Lake Temple, the Utah Territorial Capitol Building at Fillmore, and the St. George Temple.
