Elder L. Tom Perry

On Wednesday, January 11, 2006, LDS Apostle L. Tom Perry Jr. told an overflow crowd at the dedication of the newly refurbished 124-year-old Cache County (Utah) courthourse, on the corner of 200 North and Main Street in Logan that this event was remarkable - and not only because it marked the preservation of the community's pioneer heritage.

The 124-year-old Cache County Courthouse in the heart of downtown Logan on the corner of 200 North and Center Street was refurbished for $2.5 million and unveiled Wednesday afternoon. The courthouse was designed in 1882 by Truman Angell, Jr., who also built the Logan Temple and tabernacle buildings. It is is the oldest building in the historical territory of Deseret Ð from the Sierra Nevadas to the Continental Divide to Southern California - to have been in constant governmental use.

The article mentioned that "two old friends, named after fathers L. Tom Perry Sr. and Newel Daines Sr., were reunited for the dedication of the Cache County Courthouse Wednesday in the very room where, as young children, they watched their fathers practice law - often on opposite sides of a case."
