I always thought that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, aka the Mormon church, was from Utah. But either Utah doesn’t really have any distinctive architectural styles or the sect that went to California sent their architect to Montreal. Complete with palms and a parking lot, it definitely doesn’t really fit in here in Montreal…
If you’re interested, Adam Gopnik (an ex-Montrealer) has an interesting article in next week’s New Yorker on the Mormon church, it’s history and how it relates to this year’s presidential election.
