Think of St. Louis. What structure comes to mind?
Think of Seattle. What structure comes to mind?
Think of Dallas. What neon skyscraper come to mind?
Those are
signature towers.
Now I'm gonna make a point here...
Think of New Orleans. What skyscraper comes to mind?
Think of Miami. What single skyscraper comes to mind?
Think of Minneapolis. What skyscraper comes to mind?

You probably can't come up with any. But we all know those cities. They don't absolutely need a signature tower. Though, signature towers are very nice, and we all want one.
I've only been to Boise once as a very young child, but today I can think of two Towers that stick out in my brain. US Bank, and Zion Bank towers. But, that's because I live in the mountain west and know what the cities look like. As would be the same with folks in the North East.
If you remove the temple from the SLC skyline, and show it to someone from let's say, Little Rock, They probably wouldn't know it was Salt Lake. Unless they guessed correct. They'd just know it was a large mountain city.
