Image shows a general view of Main Street with it's new Utah Power and Light street lights. The lights run north from 400 South to the No-Ni-Shee Arch at the intersection of South Temple. The archway was built for the Wizard of the Wasatch celebration. |
| Comment |
No-Ni-Shee was the name of a mythical American Indian Salt Princess. It was believed that her tears caused the Great Salt Lake to be salty. This 1916 arch was dedicated to her and sprayed with salt water so that it eventually crystallized on Main Street. |
