Our Story
Our Story
Peculiar People started in 2023 while I was serving a mission in San Antonio, Texas. The name comes from Peter's description of the Saints as "a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people" — members who keep their covenants without making a show of it, and are fine looking a little old-fashioned for it.
We make apparel with original line art of Latter-day Saint temples, made one temple at a time and printed on heavier, better-made garments. Most members want to talk about the gospel but don't know how to open the door. A shirt someone asks about is an easier start than a knock on one.

From the Founders
You wear Peculiar People because it reminds you of an important moment. The day you got married, where you got an answer to a prayer you needed answered, where you first felt something you couldn't explain away.
Every design we make is made to do two things:
- Remind you of something special to you
- Prompt others to ask you about it
In order for this to work, our clothing needs to be the first thing you reach for, which is why we have worked hard to ensure our fabrics, build quality, and prints are premium and extremely comfortable.
The more you wear, the more you share. All it takes is one question. "What's that on your shirt?"
Evan & Bailee, founders of Peculiar People
Salt Lake Temple
Location
Salt Lake City, Utah. The temple stands on the 10-acre Temple Square in downtown Salt Lake City, at 50 West North Temple Street, at an elevation of 4,335 feet. Status: closed for renovation since ; a public open house is scheduled for to , and no rededication date had been announced as of August 17, 2026.
Temple Number
The Church's fourth dedicated temple in operation.
Announced
, when Brigham Young designated the site four days after the pioneer company entered the Salt Lake Valley.
Groundbreaking
. Brigham Young presided and broke ground, and Heber C. Kimball dedicated the site. Cornerstones were laid .
Dedicated
, by President Wilford Woodruff, in the first of 31 dedicatory sessions held through . Sessions ran twice daily, with special sessions for children.
Architecture
Truman O. Angell, Church architect, designed the temple in collaboration with Brigham Young; after Angell's death in 1887, Joseph Don Carlos Young completed the spires and interior, incorporating a steel frame, electric lighting, steam heating, and elevators. Six-spire design faced in quartz monzonite from Little Cottonwood Canyon, 20 miles southeast of the site. The footprint measures about 119 by 181 feet, with walls nine feet thick at the base tapering to six feet at the top. The east center spire rises 210 feet, and 222.5 feet to the top of the 12.5-foot angel Moroni statue. With more than 253,000 square feet of floor area, it is the Church's largest temple.
Ordinance Rooms
As reconfigured in the current renovation: five instruction rooms seating 150 each, where the endowment is presented by film in a single room rather than the live, room-to-room presentation used before the closure; a separate veil room; ten added sealing rooms, for an announced total of 23; and two baptistries, the second added during the renovation.
First Temple President
Lorenzo Snow, called as the temple's first president for its 1893 opening. He served until becoming President of the Church in September 1898.
Construction Story
- Defects discovered in the original foundation forced workers to remove and replace portions of the basement walls, delaying construction by about five years. Brigham Young set the standard in 1863: "I want to see the temple built in a manner that it will endure through the Millennium."
- For the first two decades, stone was hauled 20 miles from Little Cottonwood Canyon by wagon team; the railroad's arrival in the 1870s finally gave builders a faster and more reliable way to move it.
- The capstone was laid , before an estimated 40,000 people, with Lorenzo Snow leading the Hosanna Shout with waving white handkerchiefs in the form still used at temple dedications. The angel Moroni statue was placed on the east center spire at the same ceremony.
- The dedication followed exactly one year after the capstone, with the temple's ornate interior finished in that single intervening year.
Symbolism & Design
- Carved stones ascend the buttresses in sequence: earthstones at the base, each weighing about 3.5 tons; moonstones depicting the moon in its phases, which Orson Pratt sketched from his observatory on the temple block; and sunstones cut with 52 points, one for each week of the year.
- The west center tower carries a carving of the Big Dipper, its pointer stars indicating the position of the North Star.
- The center towers bear carvings of clasped hands and the all-seeing eye, and two cloudstones on the east center tower show rays of light breaking through dark clouds.
- Cyrus Dallin's 12.5-foot angel Moroni, hammered from copper and overlaid with 22-karat gold leaf, crowns the east center spire; a heavy counterweight suspended inside the spire allows the statue to sway slightly in the wind.
Changes Over Time
- The temple closed from , to , for extensive updating, and an annex opened in 1966.
- On , President Russell M. Nelson announced the current renovation; the temple closed , for structural and seismic work centered on a base isolation system, with new north entry pavilions and a skylit grand hall through which patrons will enter.
- A magnitude 5.7 earthquake on , shook the trumpet from the angel Moroni statue's hand and displaced some smaller spire stones. The statue and capstone, about 5,000 pounds together, were removed by crane on , and the refurbished statue returned to the spire on .
- In March 2021, the First Presidency announced the move from live endowment sessions to single-room film presentations, along with the added instruction rooms, sealing rooms, and second baptistry.
- Renovation completion is projected for the end of 2026. President Nelson announced the public open house on ; it runs to , with free tickets available on TempleSquare.org beginning . No rededication date had been announced as of August 17, 2026.
Trivia
- After 40 years of construction, the masonry was so precise that the south wall differed in height from the north wall by one-eighth of an inch across the temple's 181-foot length.
- On April 5, 1893, the evening before the dedication began, about 5,000 invited guests, most of them not Church members, toured the finished temple.
- The 1892 capstone held a time capsule that was opened in 2020, 128 years after its placement, following the statue's removal.

FAQ
Is it appropriate to wear a temple on a shirt?
Is it appropriate to wear a temple on a shirt?
I get this one a lot, and I thought about it before I drew the first one. These are architectural drawings of a building, not anything that happens inside it. No slogans, nothing that turns the temple into a punchline. If you'd put a framed temple photo in your living room, this is that same idea on cotton.

Our goal with our clothing is for it to be seen. Which means it also needs to be your go-to comfort clothing.
It's made to be the first thing you grab when you want to be comfortable, and the first clothing you'll be prompted to wear.
How do I wash it so the print lasts?
How do I wash it so the print lasts?
Our prints are made to last. To make sure they do, use no bleach and no fabric softener, which coats the fibers and dulls the print over time. Don't iron over the design. You can wash it before the first wear to get the loose surface dye off, but you don't have to.
It says unisex. How do I size it if I want a women's fit?
It says unisex. How do I size it if I want a women's fit?
It's a men's cut. If you normally wear a women's medium, order a small for a fitted look or a medium if you want it roomier. The size guide video shows a woman at 5'9" in a small and a man at 6'4" in a large.
