[Nauvoo Temple] In Burlington, Mr. Hager, a local artist, displayed paintings done in Nauvoo, including one of the Temple. In describing the Temple, "he pointed out its beauties and the singularity of its architecture, saying that it was perfectly unique and totally unlike all the orders laid down in the books." He further stated, that in a conversation with Joseph Smith, when ask about the Temple's architectural style, the Prophet was said to have answered, "I know of nothing better than for you to call it 'Jo Smith's order'."
