South Cottonwood Campground - Utah Historical Markers on Waymarking.com

This area, 56th South and Vine Street, known as South Cottonwood, was one of the early religious and social centers for the Church in the Salt Lake Valley. To the north of here about 600 feet was an encampment used by the stone haulers for the Salt Lake Temple, the site being approximately half-way between the quarry and the Temple Ground. Also, may it be remembered that for those sturdy men who struggled here; the summer heat, spring and fall mud, and inadequate equipment made the task difficult. But they prevailed.
