Candland Saloon (Update)

In 1856, David Candland was commissioned by the First Presidency of the LDS Church to open a Saloon (or restaurant) in Salt Lake City. In 1858, Harper's Weekly featured a piece on Salt Lake City. The unnamed correspondent reported:

There is no other building in the Territory which will remain impressed so vividly upon the memory of the Gentiles who are, or have been, here this year as Candland's Saloon. It is the little building seen between the Council House, on the right, and the store of Livingston and Kinkead, on the left of the accompanying illustration. For a long time that was the only house in all Salt Lake City, where a man who was so wicked as to be a Gentile could obtain a mouthful to eat.

The actual name of the restaurant was "The Globe."

The article and related commentaries are quite an interesting piece of history. Download a collection of related documents here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/o2ptoe

Thanks to Bob Candland for the upgraded, color page from Harper's Weekly, and the menu.
