Utah father and LEGO creator Phillip Sadler is racking up thousands of followers on Instagram by recreating unique Salt Lake City landmarks in LEGOs.
“I only moved to the avenues a couple of years ago,” Sadler explained. ”I was like, I really need to check out a lot of these spots. So, it gave me the opportunity to do like a deep dive on certain buildings or neighborhoods.”
Sadler said he was inspired by his adventures throughout Utah and decided he wanted to build an ever-expanding tiny city.
“Then I started posting them and people started making recommendations,” he said.
He uses a computer program to design each replica that you can find on his Instagram page .
There you will find everything from The Lehi Roller Mills to The Cannibal roller coaster at Lagoon, the new tram at Snowbird, and his most time-consuming project yet, The Salt Lake City LDS Temple.
Among the dozens of creations, Sadler said he does have a favorite.
“It is The Cathedral of The Madeleine. It’s only a block away from me. And it is beautiful. I hear it every day, you know 24 times a day, and have always really, really loved it.”
