PLATE 14.—THE UPPER CORRIDOR

The illustration presented herewith shows the Upper Corridor at the head of the Grand Stairway. The walls are hung with portraits and paintings of scriptural scenes. In the back-ground, at the north end of this corridor, is the doorway leading into the Celestial Room, shown in Plates [21] and [22]. A portal on the right leads into one of the ante-rooms (Plate [26]) to the Sealing Room for the Living; that on the left is the entrance to a side passage which in turn leads into the World Room (Plate [17]).

See page [186].

PLATE 15.—SIDE CORRIDOR

From a landing near the top of the Grand Stairway a side corridor leads to the west and opens into the World Room. The picture here shown was taken from the west end of this corridor, and the observer is therefore looking east into the Upper Corridor already described and illustrated. The large wall painting presents a scene from the Book of Mormon record—that of the Resurrected Christ ministering to the children on the occasion of His visit to the Nephites. (Book of Mormon, III Nephi 17:23, 24.) The painting is the work of William Armitage.
