I find the Ogden temple more resembles a shrine of some sort. Saw lots of shrines and Shinto temples when touring Japan. They're everywhere.
It is a historical landmark, but other than this I don't feel much affinity for the Ogden temple other than it was Ogden my gggrandfather was deployed to by Brigham Young when he moved to Utah from Wales, to become its first full fledged tailor.
He built quite a thriving business there, that stretched north and south along the railroad lines where his fine men's clothing was in high demand between Utah, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and Nevada. He had up to 20 employees at his peak. I learned he left the church later in life, but remained an Ogdenite for life.
