Short Creek, Architecture
October 3, 2007
A couple posts about my trip to Short Creek a couple weeks back. (Short Creek is Hildale, Utah and Colorado City, Arizona, two joined towns where many members of the polygamous FLDS church live.) I’m always fascinated by the architecture of polygamy. As many people seem to have left Short Creek, so many homes remain in an unfinished state.
This is one of my favorite homes to photograph. Such a beautiful home contrasting with that ugly wall.
But now that this wall is up (above), this one’s probably my new favorite.
I photographed a lot of windows, all covered and closed.
I’d be just as fascinated to photograph the insides of the homes, with or without people, as to preserve a visual history. Any takers?
