Salt Lake City, Utah - Statue of Philo Farnsworth, Inventor of TV

I recently traveled to SLC and really wanted to check out the statue of the Father of Television, Philo Farnsworth. It's in the Utah State Capital Building, reported in the UT-to-CA leg of your Symphony of Speed tour across the U.S. I was told by the Visitor's Bureau that the State Capital Building is closed to visitors until some time in 2007 due to renovations to make the building stronger in the event of a seismic event.
