Salt Lake Courthouse Gets Bust by Mormon Artist (S.L. courthouse looking very patriotic, by George)
Deseret News 15Dec99 A2
By Lynn Arave: Deseret News staff writer

Elder David B. Haight of the Quorum of the Twelve has taken part in a ceremony honoring a new addition to the Salt Lake City courthouse. A bust of George Washington has been placed at the Matheson Court House. Elder Haight prayed that seeing the statue of the first U.S. President would inspire people to be good.

The bronze bust is a replica of a 1975 sculpture by George Fairbanks of Utah. The original is on display at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. Other statues by Brother Fairbanks are at the Hawaii LDS Temple. Copies of his statue of the Angel Moroni are on the Washington, D.C. LDS temple, as well as several other temples.
